I would send it to RSC. Might be due for service anyways and they can replace the missing fliplock and any other damaged items that may have allowed the fliplock to fall off. If you allow them to refinish your watch as they normally do with the service, everything should blend in nicely. If they want to replace the whole clasp, I think you may be in sticker shock when they quote the price. I've never actually seen a quote but read somewhere that it was USD 750 - have no idea if this is right.
You are in LA so you may have options for an independent watchmaker to make the necessary repairs.
