Cartier Santos band pin lost, help!

[Big_dane]

Dear all,

I lost one of the threaded pins for the strap

Anyone with a good idea how to get a new one? Is it realistic to source one from the mall/pedestrian street?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Update, i went to a few jewellery stores and a store where they only sell second hand high end watches plus the local omega dealer. None of them could help me. I brought the threaded pin I still have to show them.

This is not good, I'm afraid I will never wear my beautiful watch again,

Anybody who knows if I can get rep spare parts anywhere?

photo it, and mic (micrometer) it so we can see it!

it'll get fixed

Thanks for the feedback Tiyal, I appreciate it.

Before finding a camera with good enough lense to 'super-mag' it, I managed to find threaded pins for Cartier Santos XL on the bay following this link:

It was a bit of a gamble as mine is a rep but they arrived the other day and work as a charm. Very happy!

Just though I would share this link with you guys in case you run into the same unfortunate problem as it does not use standard stems.

GREAT !

I'll try the eBay link myself,

i own exactly this Santos 100; unfortunately one little screw (in Rose Gold colour) went missing

I asked a Cartier dealer about this item...well, a single screw would cost me more than 50 euros ....i'll try the eBay link and i hope that it can work also for my Rose Gold Santos !
