Heisenberg 0 Posted November 16, 2012 What can you do if let's say "someone" accidentally tries to resize their bracelet and "they" push the pin out the wrong direction and now the pin won't stay in? Would it be possible to fix? Some form of glue? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toehh 0 Posted November 16, 2012 You could try putting some clear nailpolish on it. It worked on some small screws for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WebWind 1 Posted November 16, 2012 You can try GS hypo cement or Loctite Threadlocker blue or red. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
offshore 0 Posted November 16, 2012 Spread the "wide" end before reinserting, and make sure its going into the right end. Or get another, you will need length and diameter. O/S Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
10:10 Watch Repair 1 Posted November 16, 2012 krazy glue should do it. stainless on stainless is a pretty strong bond. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heisenberg 0 Posted November 16, 2012 Thanks for all your responses, very helpful. I've picked up some "Serious Glue". http://www.bostik.co.uk/diy/product/evo-stik/Serious-Glue/16 I think this maybe similar to Krazy Glue which I don't think we get in the UK.

replicastuff 0 Posted November 16, 2012 probably better off getting a fresh pack from ebay - only a few pounds, if your a watch wis you can never have too many spare parts around - just ebay watch pins or watch springs depending what you are looking for.

Loonie 0 Posted November 16, 2012 What watch is it? Maybe you lost a tube? Did this once on a seamaster strap, no twice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heisenberg 0 Posted November 16, 2012 It's a tag heuer link calibre 16. It's the pin that connects the clasp to the bracelet. I've applied the glue now. Should be fully set in 2 hours. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heisenberg 0 Posted November 16, 2012 If it doesn't work can I replace the pin with a cotter pin? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heisenberg 0 Posted November 16, 2012 Ah figured it. I needed to put a sleeve in place and then the link is held in by the sleeve. No need for glue after all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
