Need help with clasp pin replacement.

I have an omega gold watch and the pin for the band clasp is missing. Any suggestions on how to find a replacement. It appears that one end would slide into a hole and the other end would require a screw to prevent it from sliding out. Diameter of hole I’m guessing in .8-.9 mm and length around 13-15 mm.

It might be a screw, but if so, one side of the piece on the left should be tapped. Is it? Some bracelets just use a friction pin that fits tightly, and others use a pin that is basically a long rivet (see below). Can we see the rest of the bracelet and clasp? Or better yet, can you find some photos of the same bracelet on the internet?

The other hole doesn’t seem to be tapped. Thanks for the response! I couldn’t find the same band on the internet.

So one side is blind? It might be tapped. If not, you might need to be creative.

A blind side would narrow the possibilities because you couldn't remove a friction pin. You could try a small spring-bar. If one side is open, you should be able to remove it.
