Fixable?

[gez7ch]

Hey all!

My 5711 rep is broken as shown in the photos.

Is this fixable or did the watch reached its last day?

Huge thanks for the helpers

You just need a new bracelet

How did this even happen ? What’s the factory. Generally bracelets are very well made to prevent this.

No idea how this happened.
Unfortunately I have no clue which factory it is in order to get a new bracelet but oh well..

Your best friend is a calliper to measure all important dimensions. I think any Nautilius bracelet probably 3K should fit but no promises

I’ll get some measures done then hopefully I’ll find a matching bracelet as it will be a shame to deem it dead as I really love this rep

Any advice regarding what forum to look for the bracelet?

If you post good Q pics of the front and the back of your watch then the expert eyes of RWI might identify the factory.

The best way is to figure the factory of your watch out and ask for that bracelet from TDs.

Hmm, I think it's neither 3KF nor PPF.

This is a nice puzzle
Did you figured out how the two stubs fit into the holes in the links?

Is there a screw on the side?

Good question

After checking with a loupe it seems that there is no screw on the side. Honestly I was wondering that myself.

It seems to come down to poor build and materials so I’ll just have to find out which factory it is in order to find a replacement bracelet

Based on the crown guard your watch might be from PF factory. However, I can't exclude MK or BP factories either. Anyway, I'm not sure if you can source bracelets from any of these factories. Maybe you can try to procure a PPF or a 3KF bracelet which might fit your watch. I think a talented and experienced modder would be able to fix your bracelet but it might cost more than a new one.

At the end it’s always a question of engineering

Either there is a screw, a springbar, a pin or an assembly of the link

If I had to do this, based on just the pics, I would cut a springbar in two and try to fit it in. There are many ways to explore
