Big_dane Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_dane Posted August 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big_dane Posted September 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 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: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2pcs-Top-23mm-Stainless-Strap-Screw-for-Leather-Band-fit-CARTIER-SANTOS-100-XL-/140827935650?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item20c9ffc3a2 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.

horace derwent Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 (edited) 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 !
