    I need a screw in bar for a PRS-25 Everest (40mm) bracelet

    Hey everyone. I have a much loved 40mm PRS-25 Everest but I managed to actually lose one of the screw in bars in the bracelet. I have no extras and can't source them from TimeFactors. Anyone have any extras or know of a source? I like this bracelet and want to use it.

    Thank you very much for any help you can offer.

    I would look on the bay, maybe the one screw in bars for oyster bracelet could be ok also for you. I suggest you to measure one of your bracelet and compare its size with the ones for sale on the bay.

    I must admit - I always thought these kind of things were rather generic - and that micro brands would generally obtain their parts from what was readily available?

    There are a number of differing ones on e-bay, such as this one for instance http://https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bl....c100008.m2219

    so hopefully you'll find something suitable on there?

    Good luck

    You really need to measure the existing one, then compare to what’s available. This will a require a decent digital caliper, available for around £20. Measure diameter, overall length, length of threaded portion, and diameter of the threaded section. Armed with this info you can start looking, or ask someone to compare some screwed pins they may have.

    That’s how I would tackle it. If you knew exactly what you need someone may be able to help, or to modify an available screw to fit.

    is it worth asking the boss who manufactured the bracelet and asking them for the specs? i once did this for a movement clamp in a microbrand diver i had years ago.

    In fact, that was what I did first. Sadly, he has no stock and Eddie also added that the person who made them has retired. So, no way to get more.

    I can't tell you how bummed I am. I love the bracelet but it looks like, unless I can something on ebay, without the parts to fix it, it's just worthless junk.

    Thanks for the idea though.

    Thanks for the suggestion. I suspect if I am to fix it this is what I will have to do.

    But if you could find out who that was - you might be able to enquire where he got his materials from - one thing is for certain - they won't be bespoke

    If I can find the links I removed from my own bracelet, he can have a screw out of those.

    Whole chunks of my life come under the heading "it seemed like a good idea at the time".

    Had an offer

    Hey everyone, if you happen to have an extra PRS-25 40mm Version 1 bracelet and you want part with it, please let me know. I had one person contact me with one to sell then they disappeared. I would be interested in paying for extra bracelet links with the screw in bars or complete bracelets.

    Thank you very much.
