I’ve had this watch years but rarely wear it due to it having the wrong lugs on it
Any tips how to get the correct fitting ones for this strap?
This one makes the pin bend so it looks poorhttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...d52391b1bc.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...fad972de85.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...3170a12640.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...a949b950bd.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...ecb2308645.jpg

So are you looking someone to change the lugs?
I probably haven’t made much sense , I’m after a way to find the correct lugs

I believe you are looking for correct bracelet end links, not lugsQuote:

I could be wrong but the bracelet looks correct for the watch. Did you buy it new?
It looks like the pins have bent due to use and you might be able to get new ones as long as the existing ones screw or push out. If so it’s a very simple fix.
Alternatively you could look on eBay for a replacement bracelet or even put it on a rubber dive strap or NATO. I have a couple of rubbers I’m selling at the moment so PM me if you’re interested.
The bracelets the original but the lugs and pin aren’t. I suspect the lugs do t quite fit properly.
Do you know of any good websites to find correct lugs

End links. Not lugs. End links.

From the pictures, the bracelet end links look fine to me.
Regarding the damage to the pin, it looks to me like the bracelet has been twisted or subjected to some sort of sideways impact or pressure and that has caused the damage. Id start just by fitting new spring bars.
hopefully this will help, the end links and the spring bar seem to be the issue.

the 6 o'clock spring bar is rooted and looks like it has bend the end link. a new set of spring bars and a little reshape of the end link and you will be good.

It’s that end link that I thought was called a lug that I bought to replace a lost one that doesn’t quite fit properly. The pin was straight but doesn’t go through cleanly as holes don’t align.
Any suggestions where to buy the right lugs and what info from watch do you need to ensure correct onehttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...a9cf79318c.jpg

What you need to do is measure the gap between the lugs, which are the pointy out bits of the actual watch, I suspect they will be 20mm, then you need to measure the width of the last bit of the bracelet that connects to the end pieces, I suspect this will be 10mm, with this info you should be able to find curved end pieces to fit, alternatively look at the
Numbers on the back of the watch, there will be a set of 4 and a - followed by another set of 4 numbers and letters eg 7548-7000. You can then search for a bracelet using this code ( the watches model number)
Something like this :

With screwed links
