Bracelet replacement/help

[hering]

Hey everyone, just received my first rep, a rolex explorer i (36mm). There is a problem with the end link of the bracelet? It seems like one of the bars is very wonky, and doesn't seem to tighten properly.. very annoying as I imagine this could fall off at any time. (yup this just happened)

Emailed the TD, so hoping for a responce.. but does anyone know where I could buy a replacement bracelet or end link for the Rolex Explorer 1 36mm?
Thanks.

A little crazy glue will fix that right up if you still have the end link.

Still got it at the moment yes! and ok, think its ok to just leave that wonky as heck bar in there then?
And surely super glueing it will mean the links bar wont be able to move at all? possibly making it stuck in an even more wonky position?

If it goes together and stays with glue, you're aces.

Surely gluing it together would mean the end link cant move at all? and could get stuck in a worse position? or should I just go for it..

Or anybody know which bracelet this is, and where I could get one to fit the rolex explorer 36mm for a reasonable price? thanks!

can you post a picture of how it attaches at the other end?
and maybe a side picture of the link its self?
does the screw tighten down properly?

This may work, or they have just a generic 20mm band for Rolex.
Good luck

Ok hows that?
And the screw does seem to tighten, but it can then just pop straight off still, confusing!

Ok I see your problem , The pin has pulled out of the side of the link. The screw does not hold that side on. It merely comes out so you can slip another piece of braclet in the hole.

The other guys are right, use loctite red or superglue. but you are not gluing the pin to the bracelet, you are gluing the pin back in the link hole.

Try to get some needlenose pliars to straighten the pin to the best you can and test fit it to the bracelet to make sure is swivels smoothly. Once you are happy with it reassemble the bracelet and put a drop of loctite or super glue IN THE HOLE on the link end piece and squeeze it together. make sure there is no glue on the rest of the pin or on the rest of the bracelet. Keep it moving for a little bit so if there is any excess glue it doesnt bond to the rest of the bracelet.

Thanks very much for the imput guys! Will buy some superglue and follow your instructions.
Trevor is going to hopefully send me another bracelet though so will use that too!
Cheers!
