damage!! need help

PLS SEE BELOW

hi guys
quick question
is there any way that an AD could remove the half link of the submariner bracelet that is connected to the clasp ?
If yes, could the full link that is next to it be attached directly to the clasp with the half link not being there?

thanks

I don't think it's possible since the "normal" link would then not be able to fit onto the clasp.

Only solution I can think of is to have the SD clasp (including link at 6 side) fitted to your Sub Date since the SD bracelet does not have the ½ link.

i need a gold one so this is not an option
but still i don't see why the normal sub link would not fit in the clasp (without the screw of course)

Well, imho best thing would be to see what your AD watchmaker can do for you.

guys i am stupid
i overtight the half link screw of my 16618 and broke it
the broken screw is inside the half link hole which i guess is now damaged

Is there any way the half link can be disconnected from the clasp or not?
If not then i am lost
I will have to buy a new clasp which will be really expensive

Ouch, man!

Now you need to go to your AD even more! I hope he can fix it.
