I say new bracelet. You'd hate to fix one link just to have another fail and lose the watch.

Those link pins are pulling completely through at least 2 of the major links, and probably dangerously tearing others.
If the clasp is still good, then you may save some money by just buying a new bracelet half... or likely both halves as if one side is this bad, the other is probably very close...

the clasp is fine - the watch is just old and has obviously seen better days. how much will halves cost and do i just order them through a AD?

yes the watch is not being worn at the moment due to obvious reasons. however i would like to have it fixed but not sure the best/cost effective route to go. i have been quoted a price for an entire new band and it is much more than i thought it would be but if it would be cheaper to buy halves since the clasp is fine then that would be the best - how much cheaper do you think it would be? thanks for the info.

Sent it to Hong Kong.
First make some clear pictures of the bracelet and its stretch, he will say it can be done or not. [email protected] He'll sent it back in a few months looking as new again. FOr a fraction of the cost, you'll stay under $800 Jack |

Hi.
I live in Norway. Here in Europe is it possible to send Rolex bracelets to Rolex in Switzerland to fix them. In worst cases I mean they supply a new bracelet and keep the old to use the gold again. Scooter |

Any authentic bracelet you find will cost around $2500 - $3000. Why waste money?
