Can this be fix? Watch has chips in it as you can see in first 2 photos, band broke off as well. (I have the full band)

This is a JF YachtMaster 2 in all gold tone.

It would probably be cheaper to just buy a new one. Even if it was SS, reshaping the case to eliminate the gouges would change the appearance of it to an unacceptable degree. Same with the bracelet.

It probably would be best to buy a new. If not, find someone by you to plate it first then assembly and disassembly is secondary and easy to find in comparison. I don't know of anyone replating gold. Theres someone that plates bezels but not sure on cases.

its a pretty good smack. Does the watch still function as it should? Movement and hands

yes watch works perfectly find. JF is out of stock at the moment and no telling when they will be in stock.

You could always just rub down the scuffs and wear it like that.

As for the bracelet, the pin that holds the end link to the bracelet can be replaced for pennies.

Seriously, I saw the BP factory yachtmaster 2 "wrapped" They want almost 2k for it.. Like who is seriously going to spend 2k on it? The can't even mimic the regatta movement.

I was find with JF factory for $418.. This watch lasted me a very long time.

what happened to it?

Got into a street fight. Watch broke off, scrapped on concrete.

best to part it out, it's going to need to be reshaped and replated which will cost you as much as a new rep.

Sell it for parts and get a new model if it's out of stock. It's an omen that a new watch was to be in your immediate future. Even if it's replated I'm not confident that it'll look as good as it did from the factory. other option is to put a want to buy ad out and see if someone has one with a dead movement they're willing to sell. Personally I would just get a new one and sell it for parts. Cheaper and less headache and guaranteed better results
