I did the stupidest thing to my platinum day date 36 last night. In an enraged fit that I was having, I took it off my wrist and while holding the case in my palm I slammed it down on my desk. Didn’t think it was that hard but obviously it was. It appears that I bent some of the pins within the bracelet on both sides close to the end links. Now the band is twisted on both sides. Is there anyone in the states that would be able to repair something like this? Or would you recommend sending it to Michael Young? I tried to upload some pictures but they are too big and I don’t have a regular computer to downsize them. Any advice appreciated.

Maybe rolliworks? I don't know if they're working on president bracelets (or platinum), but their work seems to be very good.

Damn. Get a GShock to bash around. Platinum man. Learn to control your temper.

toomann · 28 October 2018, 12:52 AM

Next time don't take it out on the watch. I'm sure it wasn't it's fault!

Fat_ninja · 28 October 2018, 12:52 AM

Just buy a new bracelet...

And like others mention ...contol temper. Nothing ever comes out of anger

joli160 · 28 October 2018, 02:16 AM

Rolliworks, look in the tech section

Lordofrolex · 28 October 2018, 02:23 AM

I sent my DJ to “MY” he’s great. But it will take up to a month to get it back.

Paul7 · 28 October 2018, 02:41 AM

This place in San Francisco will fix you band as well as MY from what I hear, and also takes out stretch: https://www.sandhillwatch.com/

fixinbones · 30 October 2018, 09:34 AM

Thanks for all your responses. I’m going to send it to rolliworks this week.

I also have a platinum President bracelet that has some bent pins, although nowhere near as bad as yours. Please update us with the repair results!
