My clasp broke in exactly the same place - lost one rivet head and washer same as you. I took the strap off first and kept the watch head at home as I didn't want to leave a rep with the local jewellers. They put a new rivet in the same day for about £9. I didn't notice they had lost the other spacer/washer while fixing it, so the safety flip lock jiggles up and down when not fastened but that's only a minor annoyance. Should be a cheap job at any local place.

I'm glad you're okay. I'm sure the mugger got his comeuppance when he tried to pawn it and was told it was worthless. He may have taken a beating himself for it.

BTW, if you live in an area where watches get lifted frequently, you can add this to the growing list of reasons why a rep makes sense! It's a bit of an 'in your face' to muggers and petty thieves everywhere!

You clearly didn't read the whole story, Are you trying to get your post count up?

As for the Victim, I'm glad your OK, If you lost consciousness at some point you need to see a Doctor immediately.

Agreed i only slipped on ice and hit my head didnt think much of it started throwing up later that day turns out i had a concussion. Easier to get than you think. But im glad you and your watch are not any worse for wear. Good reminder come summer time our watches are more exposed. Seems like more and more people are trying to make a quick buck these days its a shame.

My attempted fix, cut the head off of a pin and file the head smoother, used an old second hand I butchered for use as a washer, gob of locktite and jobs a good un... At least until I can afford a replacement from tc!

Sorry to hear what happened to you, it happened to me a couple of year ago in Paris and finally decided to change the strap for a NATO
