Name of this Rolex OysterQuartz bracelet part

The part is/was a solid pin (I think it must be 16mm, and it wasn't a spring bar so must be friction fit). I'm unsure the right terminology but the pin connects the end of the bracelet to the clasp. The part is way thinner than even ultra thin spring bars I have laying around (but these would be too long anyway).

This part got bent and eventually lost -- I'm looking to find a replacement (OEM or otherwise).

Please see attached pics. Thanks!

I think the part that attaches the bracelet clasp blades to the clasp is a solid pin that is domed over at each side to make a rivet, just like on other clasps.

It is probably the part called the "pin of the clasp" in the parts list and is part number 32-20682 on this parts list for the Oysterquartz 17000 bracelet:

As @Ctech noted, it is a rivet or sometimes called a friction pin. Generics are readily available, online or at a good hardware store.
