I have a 1970s Geneva with red dial but it’s bracelet needs some TLC and I wondered if anyone had managed to find a repairer to fix the links ? I Think I have seen this issue on other Geneva examples.
Alternative is a replacement bracelet
Mine is on a reference 32. 1181 315
Are there any other period references?
Seen one. 32. 1286 240 but not sure if correct

any help appreciated
Thanks

What's the number on the clasp? Thats the number you need to determine whether links are available.

I can't quite make out from your pictures what the problem is. Can you post a clearer shot of it?

Both the end links have wear at the point they accommodate the lugs
Not sure if repair is possible or if these links can be replaced?
Thanks for taking the time

Looks like that link was a bit bent in (maybe) an attempt to get it off the watch head? You're not going to find a replacement link for that short of getting the entire bracelet replaced. Someone can probably bend it back into the correct shape though.

Michael young in Hong Kong does amazing bracelet repair but it’s not cheap.
