PO Bracelet Self-Destructed. Fix?

[chango]

So I'm wearing my 42 PO SS and I head something hit drop on the floor.  And when I turn around to look, my watch falls off and hits the floor.  Is there a fix for this or should I just write it off and put on a leather strap?  Luckily it happened at home and not out and about.

Loctite?  Epoxy?  It appears that the link pictured comes apart by hand now.

JB Weld ought to do it. Just make sure you keep it on the surfaces that need to be adhered. A little goes a long way. You don't want it to squish out and get on the pins where the link should be free to rotate.

As you can probably tell, these link is supposed to be pressed-fit ... I suppose your pins were not knurled properly, and they became loose. Epoxy?

[chango]

Thanks guys. I actually have JB weld but it seems kinda gooey for such a fine task. Have you ever used it on a watch? What kind of epoxy do people use for such watch fixes? I also have loctite blue and red in the garage.

As krpster said, a tiny bit of jbw on a shaved toothpick. Press it into the outer link rather than on the bar.

My rolex gmtIIc also undone in a similar fashion. Blu loctite set that right since

Just set it with Loctite blue.  Hopefully this doesn't happen again especially when I'm on the move.

Good luck, but I don't think I'd trust blue loctite myself.

Go with the jbw chango I used it to hold a crown tube on a planet ocean which is tiny and that held up for well over 8 months never had a problem,and applied it with a tooth pick as importr said

[chango]

Yeah.  So the blue loctite didn't work.  It just fell apart again.  So I JBwelded it and one week later still no problem.  JB weld is definitely the way to go with this.  Thanks for the advice gang!
