Is this little knick on my bracelet repairable?
Or would I have to purchase a complete new link ?

I'm not sure I see what you're talking about. Can you take a clearer picture?

Is it on the gold or the ss part. I'm having trouble seeing it and I'm wearing my glasses.

I believe that's part of the endlink, not sure if it could be "buffed" out? By the looks of it it's pretty deep.

I think it's repairable but afterwards the fit might not match the rest of the links.

since the link is gold I am assuming it would be a few hundred $ for a new link from an authorized dealer. Not sure if it would be cheaper to weld. Personally i would just order a new link from AD if it really bothered me.

Bite the bullet and have an authorized dealer order a new link for you. And be a little more careful in the future
With regards to Michael Young - It cant hurt to check, but to be honest I cant see how you will save a significant amount of money with shipping costs and the guy has to make a bit of money. Plus he has a 6 week turn around from what I have heard...and in the end you have the same link which was damaged. |

Best would be to replace the endlink; those are hollow based on the picture.

The highlight helped. See about a new end link if Michael young can't fix it. Good luck.
