Hi guys,
I have a GMT II Pepsi Sophia Loren to which I've replaced the original oyster bracelet with a RUBBERB silicone strap and a used Fliplock clasp. Recently, the pin and rivet that connect the Fliplock to the clasp and SS link came apart. Rolex won't repair it. Arghh!
Anyone know of a source for a pin with rivet that will fit my 93250?

Thanks!

A rivet is simply a stainless steel rod with the ends hammered over.

Almost any jewelry repair shop can fix this for you.

These are aftermarket but do the job

Thanks for the pin info. Just what I need

Yes Rolex seem to go for the 'replace the entire clasp' option rather than a repair. Happened me a while back with a GMT - replacement pin was an easy fix for watch maker and possibly even better than the original!

JJ at Fair Oaks Mall in Fairfax did mine for $30 in five minutes. Indeed does look more "solid" than the original. This foolish rivet is indeed the bracelet's weakest "link".
