Broke my Datejust bracelet.

Hey everyone.

I wasn't quite sure where this post belonged so please move it if I posted it in the wrong subforum. After being a bit careless by
wearing my watch while doing some work around the house I managed to break the bracelet. It was totally my own fault and it isn't to blame
on the quality of the bracelet or anything. Something got stuck between my wrist and the strap and I yanked it appart. :(

I love this watch, I think it looks great, it tracks time accurately and the mechanical movement easily lasts the night on the nightstand.

All in all, it would be silly not to get it fixed. Now I'm wondering, as I think you should be able to see in the photograph, the 2
little pins seem to be at an angle, they dont go straight up like the large pin. I'm not sure whether this is always the case, or if
this was caused by the force that caused it to break. Sadly I lost the chain piece. Is it possible to just get my hands on a new chain
and attach it back on there (glue it perhaps?). Or are the pins indeed twisted? I hope I've explained it clearly.

Thanks guys.

You might be able to finsd a watchsmith who has a link and maybe can repair it, but I think the easiest solution is to buy a new oyster bracelet- Check Angus- Puretime out- he used to have bracelets. Or just buy one of those no-name oyster bracelets on ebay for $15-30.

He's got some decent Rolex bracelets for a good price. I've bought a couple of Jubilee bracelets and they have been excellent. He's also on eBay.

That's awesome! Thanks guys. :)

I believe I need a 20mm bracelet, if I measured it correctly. Could anyone confirm this before I end up ordering something I can't use? :)
