Hi From Scottsdale

Hi ....new here . Have owned a Rolex since 1967 when I got my first one in a Navy PX in Taipei while on R&R. Gave that one to my eldest son after I bought a Presidential in Bermuda in 2003. My father left me the one he bought in Hong Kong back in the 1950's..ser#87448 and model 6305/2. Just got that back from the local Rolex dealer who sent it to NY to see if it could be repaired. NY said they couldn't repair it, sad day.
I broke the pin off inside the link that links the clasp to the rest of the Bark bracelet on the Presidential. The local Rolex dealer said that they couldn't fix it, but that they were sending it to a person who works with gold to refit a new pin (link is solid/ no hole to replace broken pin). Local gal said that it would be $2400.00 for new clasp...I think she got the price for a new 18K Bark bracelet...I hope..Do you think Rolex in NYC would talk to me about parts/$$ for a new clasp?
Found B. Gray Jewelers in Ft. Lauderdal who claims they can make any repair to any Rolex bracelet...Anyone hear of B. Gray? If they can do it, why can't Rolex?
Sorry for running off at the mouth, just hasn't been a good time for Rolex and me.
Anyway, nice to be here,
Dale
