(good to have you back by the way)

Speak to Seiko UK, they took my lads Monster in for a (free) service when it started gaining LOTS of time. Their customer service was very, very good. Turnaround was less than a week.

Was so impressed with Toms I treated myself to an Orange faced Monster, but with the rubber strap.

Cheers

They'll certainly stock pins or be able to order you one. I doubt it'll cost much if anything. I think you need Seiko 2.5mm Fat spring pin bars if you are looking online for some.

Wasn't there a thread on here a while ago where someone was asking for the pins because they *are* rare and very hard to get hold of?

I'm sure the spring bars attaching the bracelet to the watch are standard, but the pins holding the links together have collars and are tricky to find, IIRC. I have a couple spare because I've got slim wrists and had to remove a few links from my bracelet, but if they're rare and hard to get then I'll probably hold onto them just in case...

I've just sent mine in for sorting after it was racing ahead. Hopefully it'll be back soon.

Depends whether its a UK model. I sent the wife's Seiko auto in because it too was racing, but because its a US model they're having 'problems' finding the spare parts. That was coming up for 3 months ago. I sent it in through a high street jeweller and they're as frustrated as I am that the watch is still away. Thank I might give them a ring again.

Is it the pins that hold the bracelet links together or the spring bars that hold the bracelet into the watch case lugs that you are missing?

It was you wasn't it? hehe

I've got watch bracelet pins but I don't know what size or diameter the ones for your bracelet are?

I had the exact same problem, I took my monster to a cheapo watch shop. They didn't have any collars so just pushed the pins back in and didn't say a thing till it fell off my wrist walking to my car. Luckily it landed on my foot, so no damage.
They then sent it off to Seiko UK for free collars and pins. Unfortunately Seiko put all the links back on. I then saw sense and took it to a reputable place (Beaverbrooks I think?) who sorted it for free within 2 mins.

You need to either hunt round the local watch repairers or go on TZUK and ask who can do it.
You could get a very nice watchworx strap that you can fit yourself for £15 IIRC.
