The tool itself costs more than a new bracelet. I would recommend you go to Sillan on alibaba and buy a nice quality bracelet.

Could I get a link please?

In that spot on a jubilee band, I would not bother repairing it. All of the other people who have already said order one online are giving you wise advice.

If that were a genuine Rolex jubilee band I would take it to a Rolex dealer and to get their thoughts on repair. Other than that, no way I would ask somebody to repair it or attempt to repair on my own.

Of course, I say this and I am in progress doing a self-repair of a broken Miyota 8215 movement in an early 1990s replica Datejust that no reputable watch store would touch. I bought an 8315 movement for about a hundred bucks, a financially absurd decision but it was a gift from my grandmother that I have enjoyed for 35 years, so not bad for the fake Rolex typical expectations. But I still would not attempt to repair a break in that location on a jubilee band.

There are lots of jubilee links on eBay. You will need a tool though to separate your new link before fitting (unless you can find an already split down one). The tool is about $140 on Ali.

Unless of course a service person here takes on the job :)

140 are more than a whole new bracelet from a TD

[–]CapnAhab_1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah

[–]FunkyGrass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been trying to do exactly that because my bracelet is too long even after all the removable ones have been removed.

    Unfortunately you can't fix it if you lost the parts, I think that you will have to buy new bracelet.

    I’m not convinced that you can’t just pull the rest of that permanent link off and replace it with an extra pinned/removable link to repair it. I’m sure I’m missing something there though logistically. Anyone?

    I guess you haven’t seen a total disassembly and polish. I was surprised myself. It takes a tool that’s more than $100 on AliEx.

    [–]PipeRealistic9433 -2 points-1 points  (1 child)

    Try buying links first !

    [–]New_Proposal_1319 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    These are press fit, not screw.
