  1. "the same fail for my bracelet. replica blue ceramic sub.

    amazed to know now that the gens have the same desing in bracelet.

    completely unacepted for gen rolexes to have such ridiculous desing in bracelet!

    the entire watch sits in two small welded pieces of metal..."

    I made a remark earlier about genuine rolex bracelets and looking back, I believe rolex has totally lost their direction and is no longer interested in making 'tool watches' at all and is now 100% in the fashion watch business while using their past exploits to hype their modern watches.

    The milgauss and explorer might be considered modern 'tool watches' but imho the only TW they still make is the no date submariner.

    Anyway...I have a friend who has a laser jwelry welder and he said he would be willing to try to weld stainless steel with it. I will see if I can find something similar to the broken bracelet brackets and let him have a go at it.

    He repaired the lugs on a 14k watch case for me a while back and they were flawless when finished. He did not even have to remove the plastic crystal to do the job...hard to believe.

    Someone had a Speidel Twist-O-Flex bracelet on the watch for years and the spring loaded bracelet ends chewed the lugs up.

    Let me know how it works out, I could send some work his way.

    Thanks

  2. Hey this happened to me too. Exact same thing.

    Dealer sent a replacement clasp and the new one still works. ;)

    I would be writing letters if I owned a gen DSSD that failed in this way :g:

    This just happened to my new Ultimate DSSD that I've only had for 6 weeks. It only came loose on 1 of the 2 lugs.

    Probably my own fault,,,Was chopping wood with it on.

    What sort of epoxy should I try? Is JB Weld the best??

    Any help is appreciated.
