Help --- Clasp Detatched from Bracelet

HELP!!!

I was washing my hands this afternoon at work and my watch fell apart. The little pin (left of image) in the clasp somehow detached itself from the bracelet. Is this an easy fix?

Thanks in advance,

Ryan

just a spring bar i think ,,, very easy diy job ,,, bit of tape and a toothpick
spring bars cost about a pound , or your local ad will probably do it for free.

Phew! I was worried... thank you! I just bought it before Christmas from my local Rolex store so I'm sure they will take care of it for me.

On my bracelet, that is a permanent pin, but a spring bar will work.

It is a permanent link but a spring bar should work in the interim.

I agree with the suggestions but looking at the condition of the first link shown attached to the end link in your pix I would be having a closer look at all the pins and screws.

Looks like your bracelet has a bit of "stretch" to it. May consider a new one.
