Ouch. What happened to the bracelet? Platinum bracelets are not cheap.

I'm not sure what the question is here. ??

You say that "buying new is better". That bracelet is ~$36,000.00USD and so it would have to be extremely damaged to justify that..

Most manufacturing jewelers can repair your bracelet, depending on what that damage is.

You should see the price for a replacement bracelet and clasp on the platinum Daytona!
