Where to get Bracelet screw?

[RedwinGV]

Hi Folks,
I own an Omega Seamaster AT, 231.20.39.21.06.001
This one comes with screwed bracelet links.
When I got it, I had 1/2 link removed after about a month of wearing it. Well, I'm thinking I'd like it back on.

I thought I kept the pieces, but when I took it on to my watch guy, one of the screws was missing. Strange, since he gave me the pieces last year when he removed it. I never bothered to check if the screw was in the little bag or not. My fault. And, since he's not an AD, he says he can't get the piece.

Sooo.
Do any of you have an idea how I can get one screw? Even though it is a SS/Red gold, the screw is stainless. I haven't tried calling an AD in. I live at least a couple of hours from one- but that may be option

Thanks for any light anyone can shed on this.

Sorry to hear about the screw going missing. Not 100% sure if it is there but Otto Frei seems to have just about everything:

Hope you can somehow find what you need there

Funny, I saw that site too. It looks like they have it. So, if I can't get one for less or closer, I think they'll work. I suspect I'll get two. Then I'll never lose another one.

thanks

Try your local AD as well...Most keep them on hand!!

UH that's the point- I don't have a "local" AD. They're a couple of hours away. I'll try and give a couple a call- who knows, maybe they'll be nice.

That site mentioned is pretty sweet though. Looks like at worst I'll be out about $25 bucks if I read that site correctly.

Well, I contacted an AD in Metro Detroit. He hemmed and haw'd a bit, but said he had an extra link and will send the screw from that. I'll give em props later when I see it in the mail. Should be here in a few.

Funny thing though, he said he couldn't be sure if it would be the correct screw. He has tons of screws, but Omega has a part number for the screws. The watch or bracelet number doesn't help. So I asked how did he match em up when he needed one? He just said "trial and error."

No matter, he was helpful and polite. Really can't complain one bit.

So, a little shout out to Dwayne @ Gr*&%stone's (metro Detroit, Birmingham) for sending me the screw I needed for my Omega bracelet. Problem solved.

Hope I'm not violating any rules for posting thing.

Glad it worked out Joe.....The AD is usually your best bet for links and screw pins if you're in a hurry..!
How was the pricing compared to Ofrei??

Infinitely better- Gratis He was very nice enough to just send it to me. Next time I'm in metro Detroit, I think I need to make a stop.

Excellent news, Joe! So glad to hear the AD was this helpful to you and seems they for sure will get or keep you as a customer Good call on that one too, Rob Never expected that outcome but live and learn I guess
