maxman Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 Im realy ashamed to admit this. I know better or so I thought. The only reason Im posting this is so that someone who is new does not make the same costley mistake. I thought I would take a few links out of my Omega po chrono Quartz(orange bezel) ss bracelet. I removed the links from the lugs instead of the clasp. As far as I know the bracelet is ruined. Beautiful new bracelet wasted. I read a article some time back addressing this very issue. I dont know what I was thinking, how incredibly thoughtless. I now have to buy a new one for $60. I think I will buy another Omega po black bezel. It is more cost efective to buy another watch for a extra $60. I believe the 42mm and the 43.5 mm are interchangable. The 42mm and the 45mm are not so Im told. Nothing like throwing hard earned money down the toilet. Well I hope this will help someone. Although; I find it hard to bellieve that anyone could be this foolish(read stupid) Thanks for reading Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThinkBachs Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 Sorry to hear about your mistake. It would seem to me that it could be done so I probably would have done it myself. Got a new image for your avatar though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deltatahoe Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 not sure why you would remove links from the lug end, but i'm confused as to why this ruined your bracelet. can't you just add the links back to the lug end of the bracelet (back to where you removed them from), then remove links from the clasp end of the bracelet? what am i missing here? deltatahoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried as I might I could not get the dam thing back together. Took it to the AD, I know the guy. He tells me that the bracelet is ruined. said he was sorry but there was nothing he could do. Maybe he could have been more helpful if not for the rep. Although I do remember reading something about this. I will try to find it. thanks Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
