andvari26 Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 is the strap broken ? and is it solid gold or plated ?if it is plated and damaged or broken odds are it cannot be repaired as new, you cannot solder or heat plated metals, maybe easier to replace the strap for now and keep the original until you can get it rectified in a better environment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from the place on Thapae Road west of Bkk Bank the rest are a bunch of amatuers. (and they probably don't do gold straps) If I had a valuable watch and wanted it repaired in Thailand I wouldn't let it out of my sight. Nice Omega in for a strap repair and a Chanklan Road night bazaar Omega when you go back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
