I also wanted to fix a pin that already came broken on my Alpha Seamaster Pro.
But I just bought a new clasp on eBay for 30USD.

These are called rivet pins, you can get them at Ofrei:

This is also the weakest point on the gen, and it can happen on them too.

The hinge/rivet pin also broke on mine when I was resizing the bracelet. I brought it to a watchmaker and he said he sees this regularly. He laser welded a pin on mine. Works perfect and gave me confidence that it won't break as easily. It cost me $40 and left the watch with him for a couple of hours.
