: Hi Ken,

: When you say the broken pin is between the band
: and the base of the watch, do you mean it is
: near the clasp or near where the bracelet
: connects to the watch case itself. In either
: event, pins, clasps, and springbars are all
: easily (and cheaply) replaceable, so I can't
: fathom why you would need a new bracelet. A
: picture is worth 1000 words, so it would
: help in making sure I'm not missing
: something.

: There are two options for you. One is to have
: another Omega service center look at your
: watch and see if they can fix it. Your other
: option is to let an independent local
: watchmaker look at it. Since your watch is
: no longer under warranty, you can use any
: watchmaker of your choice to work on your
: watch. Just make sure he has a good
: reputation in working on high-end Swiss
: watches.

: Omega USA can give you a list of all of the
: authorized service centers in the US if you
: call them at 1-800-766-6342. The California
: service center in Los Angeles seems to have
: a solid reputation on this forum. It is
: Walter Gooden, who you can find at the link

Hi John,

Thanks for the link - this looks like a great place and I bet that they could easliy fix this..

I may find an "authorized dealer" closer but they may not be as skilled - so it may make better sence to mail this off -

on the pin - yes I need to and will post a picture - that is my error that I did not do this first. the pin is broken where the band connects with the base of the watch itself.

Thanks again,

Ken
