Seems like my refusal to adopt modern bracelets just keeps causing issues. Hahaha.

Anyone ever dealt with this on vintage rivet bracelet?

Not even really sure what happened 馃檭

Looks like quite a few of the holes in those side pieces have become oversized from wear. Eventually more of the rivet heads will slip through. The bracelet would benefit from a re-build. If it's a Swiss bracelet, the value justifies the cost. If it's a C&I, then maybe not.

My watchmaker has a laser welder, he fixed one loose pin like that. That may be a less expensive and faster option.

That's frustrating! Yes it is Swiss. Just bought this one off eBay. I think you commented on my other post Dan.

Who would you recommend for rebuild?

Michael Young? Rolliworks?

I assume it'll be around $500 for a 7205 with 57 ends?
