I own a fake Rolex submariner and the piece that connects the band to the watch is missing. I want to get this piece replaced but I fear that getting a replacement piece from a Rolex store would be way to pricey, and getting a cheap knockoff piece online would be, well too cheap. Is there any place to purchase replacement parts for an affordable price?missingpiece.thumb.jpg.56c0614f0090a4e1ccadca270fc5d801.jpgotherside.thumb.jpg.141e10c50ccf749f736d6d03bbb0049b.jpg

You could try Wholesale Outlet. I guess it depends on how much you paid for the watch and what it is worth to you. You will find them on bay of E

I ain't no choirboy but, discussion of how to repair fakes is typically a taboo subject on watch forums.

Not on this forum. We just ask not to post pics not needed for the contingency and do not promote or parade counterfeit items.

I agree with JerseyMo in principle, but of course those aren't the rules here. However, I don't see how buying a cheap knockoff piece could be "too cheap". You have a cheap knockoff watch, so why would that be any different than the original missing piece? A real Rolex piece would indeed be expensive, they won't sell you one anyway, and it probably wouldn't fit.

Why not just buy a new cheap bracelet.  

I've been looking at bracelets online that are cheap and would (theoretically) fit my watch, however they are all plain stainless steel bands, while my current is a two tone with the proper branding and logos on it and I prefer that.

You still can buy a 20mm two-tone oyster-like two-tone bracelet on AliExpress (you can find some for $20shipped I suppose) and change the buckle with the one you have on your broken bracelet.
Problem will be that your bracelet will be 'ew and without wearmarks and your watchcase and buckle will have wearmarks ... and you can only buff but not polish the "golden" parts because they are only plated and with a really thin plating.

I solved my problem by looking through eBay for parts, and I found a replacement link that is shipping soon. I doubt it was real because it was only 9 dollars for the pair, but it seemed to be the correct size.

$9 on eBay it's definitely fake but not a problem as your watch is fake.
Hope it will fit.

      Been there. Worn that Tshirt.  'ping'. Hands and knees. Nothing. Nada. 20 minutes? Ha! I found it 7 month later. How? Well, after advice from a member, I invested in a £4 UV light torch.  Hands and knees looking for a 'ping' from a Sekonda, found them both within 30 seconds. UV makes the jewel shine. easy peasy. Could have taken longer. Just lucky on the location of the search. Hope this helps.

      Thanks Dell. I thought about silver soldering. Have never done it but would like to give it a go. Do you think to put flux on the butted joint then run the solder in or to maybe brace it with a piece of scrap spring steel?

      Never and others. Yes, like you I do spend a fair amount of time reading the contents of this forum. I find it better that any other. Clear, lucid, no Prima Donas, and most of all an easy access without adverts. All thanks to Mark. God bless you mate. You give so much to many of us. What if? No Mark? Hypothetically. A forum. I did run a forum for a few years. Really enjoyed it, but became so engrossed that it did affect my health. I gave to to others to run. Not been back. It was very successful and rivalled a number of large paying sites. No adverts, no others but me. I did ask and listen to members comments and it worked well.    Costs Having a domain name, £10 annually.  Register the site with a forum company, free. Build the site using the forum company guide lines, free. It looked and ran almost the same a Mark's. All the same facilities. The cost was only £5 per month, but counted visits (views). If I recall, it was that price for 5,000 views. Each extra 5,000 views increased the price by £2 per month. Success was my own personal undoing. From £5 per month initially, it rose to £60 a month and looked like increasing. This was 10 years ago. I could not afford that, and asked it anyone would like to take over and someone did. I would assume that this is the price that Mark is funding for us all. His return is our continued comments on the internet about his course, and the fact that many of the big names on YouTube mention him as their Tutor. Those of us who have done, and are still using, his course, benefit. In comparison to other courses, I can't believe how cheap it is, and the value is exceptional. It is the structure that gives the value. Long may Mark reign. Ross
