I have an older Cyma watch, nice watch, but the band has become to tight on my wrist and can’t find any spare links. I have contacted Cyma and they have depleted the stock. Any sources for something like this I can try?

The usual sources such as eBay etc. Have you extended the clasp out as far as it will go? It (usually) has 4-5 different pin placement settings.

Have you considered a brand new aftermarket SS bracelet, for instance from Hadley-Roma? Those center end-pieces look like they may come out along with the bracelet.

 

[VJP]

Yes I would, but I’m being told I can not replace the bracelet. Due to the fact that the screws rather then pins on the watch. Ever heard of such a thing??

 

[CometHunter]

Yes I have. Although not a common practice, screws instead of normal spring bars is done more often than you'd think.
I'm thinking "How would the Cyma factory effect watch band repairs? Surely they'd have to have some way to get it off!
I'd take the watch to a watch repair shop and ask them what they think!

 

[VJP]

I did, and the watch guy told me nothing he can do unless I can locate spare links. He suggested contacting Cyma, I did, they depleted the stock of links, and do not have another bracelet to fit. It’s crazy.
I will continue my search on eBay and what not, but it’s a shame. I have other watches, but this one is sentimental.

Wow- it's crazy that the watchmaker can't figure out a way to affix a different band to that case!
Well, best of luck - we'll keep our fingers crossed for you!
