or just go to your local watch/repair shop... they'll adjust it for 5 bucks, if that. these bracelets are somewhat of a pain in the arse!

You are right !!

Maybe this is a better solution ! ... LOL

Knocked the watch over the weekend, there's a chip at the ring exposing the metal bit. I thought the whole watch was ceramic...

Ring? Which part are you talking about? If it's the end link, yes it is one part ceramic (top) and one part DLC'ed steel (bottom) held together by some adhesive.

Hit up your TD...they should be able to source a new bracelet. Not sure of the cost though!

Yack.. That sucks big time... But what options do I have?

Would epoxy work in this case?

How about to glue the parts with Loctite super glue and also glue the pin to the two broken parts, in order to get a stronger piece?

You will not be able to dissasemble the items after that, but that will works !

Dear Ale

This is my second best option.. I've already emailed my TD and he said that he will ask the maker...

Using epoxy glue will probably work but let's wait for an answer from the maker...

It's a pity cos the watch looks very nice with the Ceramic bracelet... :(

I don't want to turn it into a 441...

Question for you all; do you think we will see a working PR movement any time soon?

If you are talking about a P.9001 or similar the answer is NOT AT ALL

We should start firstly for a P.9000 Clone and then we will see...

Yeah, I had mine set up as a 441 for a few weeks and then put the bracelet back on and it was like "what the hell was I thinking?" 438 is the bees knees. Good luck getting it sorted.

So I got my QC pics for 438 kw seagull movement, however I noticed that on the caseback "Tuttonero" is not engraved.
the Caseback looks more like the one from 441. Am I missing something?
