Need a watch band or at least a buckle and pin for a seiko w552 super athlete

Hello, Jennifer -

Are you asking about a band for the Armitron M1099 women's wrist watch?

By "pin and buckle" are you referring to the closure part of the watch band and/or one of the thin metal rods which attach the watch band to one end of the watch?

If I am correct in my guess about a replacement band or parts of a band for an Armitron M1099 women's wrist watch, if you have not already contracted Armitron directly about the needed parts, this is the link to the Armitron Watches web page regarding Service Centers:
https://www.armitron.com/pages/service-centers

Near the bottom of that web page, you will see a list of authorized service centers. I suggest you make a telephone call to one nearest where you reside and ask about the replacement parts you need before sending it (insured) for repair. Note: Also ask about the estimated repair cost.

Best wishes.

Without seeing the band design, Seiko has a couple of executions that they use. One is a pin which is flared on one end. There is usually a directional arrow showing you which way the pin gets driven out. You will need a small hard pin. It should tap out, after the flared end is exposed you can pull it out with a small pair of plyers or side-cuts. Push out the next pin in the next link then put the pin back in the way it came out. The flared end is the last piece that goes into the band. If this doesn't work try a store where they at least install batteries. Good Luck hope this helps. Gabe

put a spot of super glue on the end of the pin befor you push them in

These watches appear to be made by Seiko and they have a service center at the address below. Their web site http://www.nike.com/timing/ says that they will repair or replace broke straps if it is within warranty. Is yours in this position. They do not say what happens if it is out of warranty though!

They suggest you ring them before taking any action (like sending it to them).

Thank you for contacting FixYa.

Place the watch face down on the cloth. This will help keep your watch from being scratched.

2

Examine the links closest to the buckle. These links will have small pin holes on each side of the link, as well as a small arrow engraved on the inner side of the band. These indicate the direction the pins must be removed.

3

Place the driving tool (a thumbtack will work) inside the pin hole in the band and push the pin out in the direction of the arrow. Remove the pin carefully from the other side.

4

Repeat Step 3 to remove any links needed to adjust the band properly.

5

Reattach the band to the buckle. Attach each end of the buckle back to the bracelet, driving the pin in the opposite direction from how it was removed (opposite the arrow).

Best regards. Jewel

Good luck!

mcdevito75 here, Best Bet, you may need a special tool to remove and replace the SPRING BARS (PINS) that hold the band onto the watch, then you may even need new spring Bars, (pins) to re-attach the band to rthe watch. BEST BET, look for a small watch repair shop in your area to change the band.

Follow this link and contact SEIKO: http://www.seikousa.com/support/customer/northamerica.html Rate me, plz.

See if the buckle does have spring loaded pin like the ones that hold the band to the case.
