Daytona bracelet

Hi

Today while helping a friend move, my Daytona accidentally bumped into a wall.
The link which connects the bracelet to the watch was bumped out of place but could easily be "clicked" back. Now, as the pictures show, the link is loose even though ive clicked it back a hundred times.

Does anyone know if this is a common problem or if i should leave it to the proffesionals?

Thankfull for any help !

-R

first, is it SEL?

if not, you may need replace or reshape the end link and replace the spring bar same time.

No, it is not common and I would want to look at the back and see the "batwings" that hold it against the case to prevent such rotation..

your DAYTONA uses hollow end links and it needs to be reshaped , its bent out of shape , also replace the spring bar.

SEL is solid end link like this

From just a quick glance, I would suspect a bent or broken spring-bar.. have you taken it off yet...??
