Help. Need a part, and can't find.

[DanF.]

I have a black face Rolex Submariner (gold and stainless) band. I lost the final fold over clasp on the band which is the final security to hold the clasp in. I can't seem to find one anywhere. Rolex wants $1,300 to do a service in order to source the part. Does anyone have any ideas on where I might buy this part? Thank you so much for your help. I have owned, and loved, my watch for twenty years. DanF.

You need the pin that secures it too, and file it to the correct size, and rivet it without damaging the clasp.

Something a good watchmaker could do?

Going to be tough sourcing those parts. If you're due for a service then send it in and have it replaced. If it's still running good then wear it on a NATO or rubber until the next service.

It sounds like it's just the fliplock lever that is missing? If your watch is indeed 20 years old, it'll be the all-stainless fliplock (later models had the center section gold plated) which is shared between the 93150 and 93153 bracelets. The part number is 32-20732. They do pop up on ebay occasionally or a friendly authorized Rolex dealer might order one for you. Any skilled jeweler or watchmaker can fabricate a new rivet to hold everything together.
