1675 torn bracelet link - who should I send it to for repair?

Been wearing my 1675 since I bought it new. Was working under the hood and managed to get the bracelet caught on something and one of the links tore right through. Any suggestions on where I should send it for repair? Thanks! Steve

I would say that if you have worn the links thin enough for this to happen, this bracelet has seen the end of it's complete lifecycle.

Replacing the posts, or even adding sleeves, will not rebuild the center links material that is gone.

I had Roberto lenti in Milan rebuilding all the centrelinks adding material and reopening the holes. All for 350 Euros.

I'm trying to figure out how to contact Roberto lenti, I can see his work, but no contact info.

Since you're in Orange county, no need to send it to Italy when Rolliworks is in Central California. Plenty of examples of their bracelet repair on this forum if you do a search. I have used them for repair of an oval link jubilee bracelet. They do very good work. https://www.rolliworks.com/

Yes, Rolliworks is the solution, I would send the entire watch, it will come back like new!
