Where do you buy your spare bracelet parts?

I have an Omega SMPc reference 212.30.41.20.03.001 and I’m hoping to replace the bracelet pins and screws. The links are fine, but the pins and screws have seen better days.

Where do you all buy your parts from? I can’t find anywhere online for my parts in particular, and I don’t have an Omega AD anywhere near me. I’m in the US. When I called a boutique in a different state, they told me I’d need to bring my watch in to make sure they have the right parts.

Any help is much appreciated!

Have you spoken with any of your local watchmakers? They may be able to help with things as simple as pins.

The Honolulu boutique was super-helpful with my old Seamaster chronograph from the 90s. They took it on the back, treated me very respectfully, and the watch like it was the newest and best watch there. Cleaned it, opened it up, timed it, quick water resistance check, and gave an assessment. They noted there was some play in the bracelet links and found some of the tubes missing and replaced them. Cost nothing but my time. Left me with a very good opinion of the boutique experience. I don't know if they're all that good but if your closest boutique is within a reasonable drive, you should give them a try. After my recent fiasco trying to find tubes and pins for my Seamaster 300 - which I still haven't found - I wish my boutique was much closer than five or six hours. As mentioned, an AD could be helpful here, too.
