Well worth it Jason to get a rare watch back to proper condition.
A while ago I bought a bracelet from Snooge / Johan for one of my watches, it needed a little repair so I had a touch of laser welding done to the end link.
Im pretty pleased with the results, the bracelet is a bit battered and worn. It needed the little hook in the end piece that holds the springbar in place.
The other side of the end piece ( crappy iPhone pic, sorry )
Here is the bracelet it fits onto:
Why go to all this trouble for a crappy, tinny, folded link bracelet?
The clasp might lend a clue.
Its a very rare original Scubapro bracelet with specific end pieces to fit the Scubapro 500, they have odd lugs so normal curved end pieces don't fit the case, I can't remember seeing another so Im pretty pleased with the result.
The watch:
I think it was Tony LTF that recommended them for minor laser repairs, ( thank you Tony ) they outsource the job but the customer service is great, it was £50 if you were going to ask.

I know Neil, a lot for a tiny spot weld, but as you say, weighed up with the rarity it was worth it for me.Originally Posted by Neil.C

Tack weld*
*probably definitely not a spot weld.
Whatever a laser does it did.
Great work
Very tempted with that watch meself Jason, it was a bargain. Still look better on a Tropic or Iso though! You do have the option now though so we'll worth the effort.
Thanks Dave... 😀Excellent stuff, Mark, and I'm glad they were able to sort you out
Cheers..
