Fixing an old broken Jubilee

[Qatar-wol]

Hello. This my F-i-L's Datejust. I bought it for him a decade or so ago, and he wears it all the time. I'm responsible for servicing, of course, and fixing little nibbles.



He recently came back from holiday having broken the bracelet. I thought, "OK, a springbar - give it here." But it's more serious than that - I think he's broken a link.

This is what I'm left with.



Thoughts? I think I'd need a) two spare links in order to even attempt a repair myself. Or b) I could send it off somewhere. Thoughts about who could fix this? Or I could cut the Gordian knot and c) buy a good aftermarket Jubilee. Anyone know a reputable source? Forstner offer lots of styles, but not a Jubilee for Datejust.

Thank you for your thoughts!

Send to Seth to sort out or enquire about it plus a bracelet tightened that probably best option

Yes that is his website.

I have used him to re-pin a jubilee and he did a great job at a very reasonable price.
