Damaged my watch - can I get it fixed? (with pictures)

[John Squire]

I went out the other weekend & took my watch off when I got in. In the morning I put it on and one of the sides of the bracelet was damaged. I've tried to illustrate it with trhe pictures below:-

This is the side that isn't damaged

This is the damaged side, you can sort of see how the pin is bent and there is more of a gap between the bracelet & the watch compared to the first picture.

Undamaged side - this is as far as the bracelet should bend as its sort of a rigid wrist hugging shape

As you can see on this side its bending well beyond the point of the last picture.

Anyone know if this is fixable & roughly how much it would cost?

Cheers

Yes, just looks like you've just bent a small spring bar to me. Take it into any half decent jewellers and they should be able to replace it.

Cost? Couple of quid.

No, but you might be able to get it fixed with replacement parts.

Arf arf

It's just a spring loaded pin that needs replacing by the looks of that. The part is cheap and can be found at any watch repairing store - you can fit it yourself.

Pin out, slide new pin in and then use a small jewellers driver to compress the spring load to slide it back in.

Bish bash bosh .. job done.
