Oysterquartz band

[tschat]

My clasp has gotten to the point where it self opens occasionally and also the connection from the clasp to the band is stretched. I have two questions.

1. Are these 2 parts replaceable? Rolex wants to replace the entire band.

2. I found a used band that is marked 17013B where my band is stamped 17013 without the B. Is this band compatible with my OQ?

I would think RSC could replace the clasp. The early 17013 bracelets were 14k if yours is 18k I’d make sure to get one of those if sourcing outside of Rolex.

a competent independent watchmaker should be able to fix the issues less expensive than a full replacement .
