I need oysters bracelet pins

I’m looking to source some knurled pins and tube bushings for a 93150 oyster Bracelet? Does anyone have a source for these?

I don't think that Rolex considers these to be rebuildable parts. If you measure the center section of the pin, knurling is pretty easy to do. Bushings may be a bit tougher, but most machinist suppliers would have tubing with the inside and outside diameter that you need, you just cut them to fit.

I have found tubing and 1.4mm SS rods but I am yet to find a knurling tool to do something as small as 1.4mm. Where do you find a hand knurler that small?

Those Cousins pins are too small. The knurled end is all too small but I did source some pins and tubes. Here are the results.





This is before


And after


It turned out pretty good.

Nice!

The tool looks similar to the one Michael Young uses. I remember seeing it in a video he made of his works on bracelets.

Nice work! Would you be willing to divulge what the pin and tube measurements are, and from where you purchased them? Also, by "tube", are you referring to the tube/bushing that is found in 18k models, to prevent excessive wear from the steel knurled pin on the gold center link, or is this yet another type of tube?

Hello guys

Message for Dashimmy

I have the same problem to find pins and tubes for 93150, where do you find it?
Cousins are too small

Thanks!
