Long story short :: I need two titanium watch bracelet links modified (machined) to change the clasp on a watch. Who can do this for a reasonable price? See the end of the post for a sketch.
Long story long :: I've got an Oceanus S100 which I love. But another watch of mine as a tool free quick adjust clasp, and it's really spoiled me, I want one on my Oceanus too. Oceanus makes such a clasp for some of their other models, so it'll match my watch perfectly, but it's not a direct fit, so I need to modify both bracelet links that attach to the clasp. Thankfully I need to remove material, not add any.
Here's a sketch - the red hatched region shows what needs to be removed. I would try doing this myself with some hand tools, but with it being a JDM watch replacement parts if I screw up aren't easily sourced....and I don't have a mill in my garage...sooooo.....
I don't need any finishing work, I can do that myself. I just need stuff cut off. I emailed the fine folks at RGM but I think this is too small a task for them to be bothered with, and Roland told me it's $150/hr and he doesn't know how many hours it would take. From my experience running a mill back in the day I think it would take half an hour at most, and that includes finding the right tools and whatnot.
For scale, the links are 18mm wide (left to right in the sketch). And again, titanium. We may be able to modify the clasp instead of modifying the link on the left side of the sketch, but I can talk that through without whoever I can find to do this.
Anyone y'all could recommend, or anyone here want to do it?
Red hatched areas = material to be removed
