The buckle literally came apart and fell off the band. Tried to find a replacement buckle and it is apparently like 24mm and the standard largest size at a jewelers is 22mm. I t just really ticks me off. Went back to the store of purchase and the best they will do is exchange me another watch which is completely different. This watch was the wedding gift I bought my husband and I don't want another watch. He had only worn it twice before it broke.
Hi Kap2000
I know it's frustrating and I work in the industry the only thing I can suggest is to a Contact the manufacturer directly or try ebay for replacement bands? and Then rob the buckle off the new one to fit the old, so you still have the gift you gave to your husband?
Model numbers would be useful if you wanted to email me I can try and help out further? (however in australia!)
Place the watch face down on the cloth. This will help keep your watch from being scratched.
Examine the links closest to the buckle. These links will have small pin holes on each side of the link, as well as a small arrow engraved on the inner side of the band. These indicate the direction the pins must be removed.
Place the driving tool (a thumbtack will work) inside the pin hole in the band and push the pin out in the direction of the arrow. Remove the pin carefully from the other side.
Repeat Step 3 to remove any links needed to adjust the band properly.
Reattach the band to the buckle. Attach each end of the buckle back to the bracelet, driving the pin in the opposite direction from how it was removed (opposite the arrow).
