Where to pickup some braclet pins for my UPO?

[metaljesus]

Hey all,

A couple of months back when I got my new UPO I bent one too many hard-to-pull braclet pins when re-sizing and didnt have enough left to put the braclet back together. Its been sitting in my watch boxes in pieces and its just occoured to me I've never been able to wear this master piece.

Does anyone know where I can buy some new pins to fit this? One is for the 2nd link before the band meets the case. When I went into my local Timpsons and they didnt have a pin long enough.

Can anyone point me in the right direction or sell me one?

Thanks heaps for the help.

I could be wrong but I think all PO bracelets are the same. If they are then there may be more of a problem then you originally thought. The first bracelet I ever tried to resize was the PO. Not knowing what I was doing I tried to remove the links from the lugs(case) instead of the clasp, my bracelet was not fixable. Offshore tried to help me at the time. I had gone to two jewelers and they told me the same thing, the bracelet was runied. I hope this Is not the case with yours. But you said that you need a pin for the second link "before the band meets the case". So It sounds like this Is what may have happened.Did the links come apart In several sections? I just resized my new PO crono bracelet> I removed the links from the clasp and there were no problems at all. It might be a good Idea to send Offshore a pic of your bracelet just to be a 100% sure, good luck

Hmmm I dont think I have the same problem (although I cant really picture what youre talking about), because I cant see why a pin wouldnt fix this, looks straight forward enough ... I just dont have one of the correct size.

I've resized 10+ bracelets and now i think about it i have no idea why I even removed this pin. Must have made sence at the time ...

Thanks for the input.

No problem, It sounds to me like your bracelet just needs a pin like you said. The bracelet that I had came apart In sections near the lugs. Because of the design the sections of links could not be put back together. From your decription your bracelet just needs a pin, thats good to hear. :)Mike

Sorted. Could offshore be more awesome?

No, I dont think so.
