Flip lock rivet pin replacement for oyster/submariner clasp

[heska]

Hi,

The flip lock rivet pin on my 92350 clasp is becoming loose:


I don't now if it's the hole that has widen or the rivet head that got tapered but well i'll need to replace it soon... (plus it's a bit bent).
So i have a few questions:
- How can i replace it ? And how hard it is to make it by myself?
- What is the reference number for this part?

Thanks!

I would remove it and measure the length and diameter then buy a replacement like one of these

Ali Express has some too

It looks like these rivet pins from Jules Borel would work also

Ok thanks!

What tool would you use to remove the existing pin? And wich one to install the new one?

I would probably bend the pin a little and tape off surrounding pieces. Then carefully touch the rivet head to a stationary (vice-held) dremel with rotating 600 grit sanding drum. Rivet will then just pull out the other side. To replace these you just tap the loose pin into the shaft with a jeweler's hammer - friction fit.

So i made the classic mistake of going too fast. I ordered the pin before removing the old one so i couldn't measure the exact diameter. I thought it was 1.1 mm (and ordered one) but no, at least on mine it's 1mm. But now it's fixed!
