Morning. I am currently looking at fixing my Seiko Titanium. So far, the battery and seals have been sorted.
Next is the strap.
However, I don't want to replace the complete strap if I can easily get the "broken bit". Aware that it's filthy. it's also not worth a deep clean if I am going to need a new strap wink
It's the clip piece where the face joins the strap, as in this picture.

Please can anyone let me know the name of the piece, so that I can look for a replacement?




Thanks in advance

SS2.

Is it just the pin / spring-bar that's snapped ? If so, it should be cheap and easy fix.

If that bracelet link piece is broken then it'll be a job to sort/replace, if it's not it may just be simply that the pin has fallen out/come undone and you'll just need to replace that - how easy that is is another matter depending whether its a generic one or a specific one to the bracelet

As far as I can see on the pic anyway - old eyes, grubby screen....!

ETA - end piece / link confusion for me.

Yep, it's the bracelet bit. The folded piece at the end spun off into oblivion.. Wish it was just a pin.

From what we can see I think that's going to be a pig to find a replacement.
Can you post pictures of the good end link, top and bottom please?

Looks like you could remove the titanium bracelet and fit a leather strap, or a stainless bracelet. Both of which will be much easier to source than a replacement link for your bracelet.
You alternatives are someone with with access to a Seiko spares catalogue, or finding an identical donor watch on ebay.
