    Hey,

    Just bought myself a 167.005 constellation with a bor bracelet 1037. In the ad it looked great, but after I recived it, I notised that the bracelet almost fell apart next to the clasp.
    I want to fix this, but dont know what to search for. Does this 'link' have a part number?
    My lokal watch repair shop couldnt help me..

    Thanks for any help..

    Ouch. That’s a very specific part which won’t be easy to find. I’d suggest keeping an eye out for a clasp on eBay as this may come with the part you need.

    However, I’d probably decide to buy an entirely new bracelet and sell that one as parts.

    ^This. You’ll have a very tough time finding a replacement clasp. Long out of production.

    Thank you for your feedbacks.
    I was afraid that it might be difficult.. Mabye I just have to start looking for a 'new' bracelet.. Or to be lucky finding another broken bracelet with the right part intact...

    I wonder if there is any possibility of having that part fabricated by a jeweller?

    That was my thought, to make it from sheet metal. This is done routinely to replace missing/broken connector pieces for Rolex bracelets. However, the Rolex bracelets are worth 10x the Omega bracelets, so the cost is justified. It may not make sense for this bracelet.

    I would definitely keep my eyes peeled for partial bracelets that come up for sale on eBay.
