Bracelet on Submariner FG. Help needed

[Broker1981]

Hi!

I received this Submariner Full Gold, Noobfactory edition from Connie. There is something missing in the latch. I did notice that the patent is quite different from the SS and TT bracelet latches. Please advise me what is missing, and if this is the correct latch for Submariner FG.

It is worth mentioning that this is a Noobfactory edition

I have attached some pictures to illustrate. As my dear lady decided to baptize our SLR camera this weekend with an ample amount of white wine the pics are taken with my cell phone. Please excuse the quality.

Looks like you're missing the small springbar that will attach the wetsuit extension to the clasp part of the bracelet- maybe a 13mm springbar- or is it 16mm? Easy quesy if you have extra springbars.

i did a measurement and it has to be 16 mm.

I do not have a springbar though. Is it possible to buy one from a local watchmaker? Does it have to be Rolex? Do i need an AD?

Edit:

I really should add that i contacted Connie about this and she is sending the necessary springbars by mail today. Her response was quick and professional as always. I would however like to know if it is possible to buy this locally. It shouldn't cost too much and it would make the watch wearable. Mail from China does take 10 - 14 days.

Thank you!

A local watchmaker should give you the springbar, I'm sure it costs a nickle. I could send you one, but it's easier if you have the bracelet present to make sure it works. Just don't go to a Rolex AD!
