Take a toothpick and shove it in the hole that holds on the band. A little spring loaded bar will pop out and the ref # is under the bracelet at the 12 oclock lug I think. Then to put it back on just compress ther spring and slide it back into the slot

Thank you! I'll give it a try if I can find a toothpick or something little, thanks again :)

thumb tack or paper clip seem to work better.
