New strap suggestion?

MiCr0 · 2012-01-22 11:15:30

Hi all, I'd sort of forgotten about a fossil titanium chrono I had. It's a quartz ti5010 with a dead battery and a damaged clasp. Any suggestions for a new strap that might bring this back to life?

a picture tells a thousand words ...

EDIT
Now that there is a picture, this looks a bit difficult.

Seems like you would need a bespoke bracelet as this watch seems to have a center lug as well, so a standard, off the peg bracelet won't fit unless you cut a notch into it.

Would probably be a lot easier to fix/replace the clasp only

I would like to try that on a chunky dark brown leather strap but it looks as if the integrated end link prevents you from doing that ?

If you can't change out the bracelet for a strap as Peasant says repairing the bracelet may be an option.

I would go with a black rubber strap similar in look to the PO.
