I have a Panerai 438 and one of the end links is damaged. Does anyone know where I can source a set or if anyone has a set or even the whole bracelet then please message me. Was one of my favourite’s but it’s been on black rubber and leather and it’s just not the reason I bought it in the first place.

I may be forced to go down this route but the braclet is ceramic and the pattern on the bracelets is different to this SS version would look like a compromise and different.
Thanks for the help tho. Appreciate it.

Reach out to Trusty, he maybe able to get you a full bracelet, I doubt just a replacement link. Otherwise, this eBay seller had a few of the ceramic bracelets, out of them currently...a tad more than you may want to spend.

Thanks, I’ll drop him a message and see what he can do. Any help is appreciated as this is a bit of a nightmare bracelet being custom to this watch.

This happened to my 438 too — one end link split in two after being left in a hot car one afternoon.

Buying a new bracelet is the only option I know of. I think I paid $100 or $125 from toro years ago for a new bracelet just for the end link, so that price on Ali looks about right given inflation :)

That being said, the black accordion silicone straps are amazing and super comfortable on it too — I think it is more comfortable and sits more stably on the wrist, but it is a different aesthetic.

Good luck, it’s an awesome watch.
