Hi guys, I wore my batman while welding at work and a glowing piece of metal landed on one of the band segments and burnt itself into it

Can this segment (upper non polished outer segment) be replaced?
Could it be repaired to like new?

Any help would be much appreciated!

yes: the weld slag would be removed and the resulting pit filled via laser welding, then refinished.

Rolex themselves do not laser weld or repair bracelets, their answer will be to buy a new one. Your best bet might be Michael Young, unless you can find somebody in Canada.

Apparently according to deguy rolex will laser weld if pressed.
