Titanium Watch Strap

[Pints]

When in doubt, turn to PH... so here goes.

I'm needing a replacement strap for my titanium Orient but can't find an online site which has this type of strap. The reason for the replacement is that the clasp is fooked.

Any PHers able to point me in the right direction?

Here is the watch in question

Cheers

PS I'd like to go with as close to the original as possible (unless somebody suggests a good reason for an alternative).

Could a good jeweller/watchmaker just fix the clasp?

Straps are made of leather, rubber or cloth.

Bracelets on the other hand are metal

I do hope the clasp can be fixed. A replacement titanium bracelet will almost certainly cost more than the watch is worth.

Yeahbut, using the word bracelet is a bit girly, whereas 'strap' suggests manliness.

I bet you could get a replacement clasp quite cheaply (although it might not be made of titanium).

Depends if you have safe mode with google images when searching "strap".

Slightly off topic - are the titanium straps quite scratch resistant ?

Well, good news! I've managed to have the bracelet's (yes, a strap is more manly ) clasp fixed.

The price quoted for a replacement from a jeweller was indeed more than the watch is worth.


After many years of use, the bracelet is in excellent condition and only the clasp shows any signs of scratches.

Thanks all for your advice.
