View attachment 786250 Hi all, I just want to check if the 1479 bracelet repairable and possible to bring back its former glory or get another replacement bracelet. Sourcing for some options available thanks.

 

Certainly repairable. If you're handy, find out what size the pins are and get some on eBay. Otherwise, take it to a watchmaker and they'll fix it right up.

 

Really appreciate your input thanks

 

Hello, this is a too good bracelet to just replace.
I'd recommend a watchmaker instead of trying several pins yourself.
The cost will be reasonable.

Wearing one of these myself today =)

 

Thanks for the valuable advise, will visit a watch maker soon.

 

May I know how many link pins I require thanks

 

It depends on how may pins and sleeves are missing.
Not trying to be smart but if you lay your bracelet out as it would be worn, and then count the locations where a join is required.
Don't forget, you also need the sleeves, not just the pins.

 

Oh ok.. but that’s all I have in the photo. I have no more pins or sleeves. Many thanks.

 

Sorry may I ask how to install the pin link as there’s no hole by the link?

 

What happened? off to the watchmaker son =)

 

I have not visit the watchmaker yet as I thought of purchasing the pin link from a seller. He claims not possible to repair as bracelet is factory essembled and the link do not have holes to screw in the pins. Pls advise thanks.

Just to update, I just visited Omega service centre and they said there’s nothing they can do on the bracelet. Only the last 2 links are removable and replaceable. So this is junk now.

 

Measure the pin size yourself and buy spring pins similar to those at the clasp. Otherwise put it up here for free if you decide to junk it.

 

According to the service centre they said it can’t be repair as there’s no removable pin on the damaged link. Only the 2 few links with removeble pin hole can.

Could very well be true. So what are you gonna do with it?

 

Going to get a 1171 and maybe sell 1479 A’s parts

 

I have a couple of these bracelets and just took a look at them with a loupe. They are definitely assembled with pins, but it's a hydraulic press fit, after which the sides of the bracelet are so highly polished it's difficult to discern the pins. The only way to get the pins out would be with a machine similar to the one that assembled them. I suspect Michael Young in Hong Kong has such a machine, but as noted above, this is not a super expensive bracelet and it's probably easier to just get another one.

 

Thanks guys for all your valuable inputs and your time. Really appreciate
