Recently purchased a Cartier panthere for my wife from a boutique. I tried to take a link out, but looks like the screws just spin freely (tried both counter and clockwise). How do you take them out? With my Rolexes/other screw based bracelets, I just screw them and they come right out.

Cartier Panthere Link Adjustment?
i believe it uses a double sided screw bars so you’re going to need to use another flathead screw driver to hold one side while you unscrew the other
and they do have tools that makes removing them easier like a double ended screw removal block

If you decide to do this yourself, take a look at each blade and make sure it fits the screw as it should. Having a small sharpening stone around is a good idea, as well as a loupe or something that will give you a good look at what's in front of you. Much of what constitutes 'working on watches' is simply being able to see what's going on, close-up.

Though I’ve done lots of link changes, I don’t recommend doing this yourself.
Call into a Cartier AD and find out
1. If they have the right tools 2. Take a video/photos highlighting the condition beside a newspaper date to prove it’s recent 3. Have the AD do it for you which is usually free.
I mention #2 because I’ve had damage done by ADs and having proof photos resulted in them replacing affected screws and links.

I just had it done by Cartier - was too much of a pain and didn’t want to scratch wife’s gift.
