I screwed up my UPO bracelet, now what?

Well first off, I'm an idiot.

I was trying to add a link or 2 to my UPO bracelet and I bent the pin while trying to hammer it in there.

Then while trying to pull it back out it broke off inside there, so it's half way attached on one link.

And I'm still in need of a couple more pins to get it to fit.

I know I should have bought the sizing tool or gone to a watch shop but I'm way too dumb for that.

Now what ?

Is there a easy way to get some more pins?

Are they generic and universal? So any watch band shop would have them?

probally not.

UPDATE Trigger over at the RepGeek has sold me 3 more links with pins and collars and I ordered a pin removal tool so I should be all set now, thanks.

I would guess that a watch repair place would have some of these pins. And with a proper tool you (or they) should be able to push the broken piece out.

If your local watch shops don't have these style pins, I'm sure a fellow RWG member or two would have one lying around.... Unfortunately I do not so can't help.
