poopypants Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 Hey guys... I bought a Euromariner from a member who didn't disclose some things and i am in a pickle for parts... Looks like an SEL had come apart in two... anyone know where to get one of these without having to purchase a whole bracelet? might someone have a half bracelet they don't need? I have already taken off the bad SEL! never knew it was so easy!! Also, looks like the person lost the small click spring and sent me one from a CH sub (large octagon style) and i have attempted to make a couple, but still not as nice as the stock one... anyone got anything lying around? Thanks guys! PP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cats Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 I suggest the member who sold you this "broken" SEL has to solve the problem. If he bought it form Chris he can get some parts for sure. Maybe you can contact Chris and ask for help if the seller doens't solve the problem.

Try gluing the SEL back together with some 2 part epoxy, even if it does not hold, it would be held in place by the spring bar so you wouldn't lose anything.

Its not not a matter of losing anything... its a matter of wanting an unbroken piece of metal on the bracelet... and i don't think that's asking too much?!?! I wouldn't have bought the damn thing if the seller had disclosed his/her f-up... but now i am this situation and i need to make it good again...

alligoat Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 Check out wholesaleoutlet990 for a click spring- you might have to go to his online ebay store- $8.00 with free shipping?? I ordered one for my 16800 gen last week- hoping it arrives today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poopypants Posted November 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 i saw that watchmaterial had one for 3 bucks! not sure if it will work... i was hoping to reach out to the board to see if anyone had anything lying around... i have also reached out to Chris, the source, but no answer yet...

alligoat Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 Looks like Watchmaterial is low on the deal. I just found one at nostalgia2000- Clark's Watch supply on ebay- $9.00 plus $2.50 s&h. But if you order from WM, you need to get a spare pearl, so it'll end up costing you as much as wholesaleoutlet or Clark's in the long run!

blue_sphere Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 A note, Click spings have differences. Wholesaleoutlet990 and watchbandman50 are DIFFERENT from the euromariner and will not work unless you replace the retaining ring and entire bezel. Best to order parts from chris! -Shawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
im2 Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 Contact Chris! He may be able to help you with info or parts to be bought! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
