    Can’t seem to find these. All the quick release pins I find on the internet, ebay or Otto Frei are 1.5mm thick, which will not fit — I’ve tried.

    A broken one looks like this:

    This photo also proves I’ve measured the thing.

    Both 1450 bracelets I have are set up the same way:

    Anybody have a clue, suggestion or a few of these lying around?

    For those who are trying to find a solution for a broken or missing quick release pin, I ordered from Esslinger their 1.5 MM pin (Watch Band Pin 1.5 mm Thick Steel Quick Release Pegged Spring Bar, SKU: 82.5115 for $2.95) in 11 mm length and make it work. (First purchased the 10 mm and it is a bit too short; had to work a bit with my dremel to make it fit, but easy enough)
