Welcome Angie, You've got a couple of routes you can try. As far as contacting the manufacturer for a replacement, I would say it's a crap-shoot. Getting them on the phone is difficult, and finding someone who can get you the right part is going to be even tougher. PP is owned by Invicta watches, so you could go that route. Considering the band is pretty scratched up/well worn, I would seriously consider going a different route, especially as you plan on selling it. You could get a Watchadoo bracelet that should fit pretty well, as the end links (the links that attach to the watch case itself) are flat on the end, rather than curved (as they would be for a round watch case). The watchadoo bracelets are a little pricey, and I would guess it wouldn't be worth it. The watch on a good bracelet would probably sell for $100-$150 on ebay, as it's a quartz. Pay absolutely no attention to the retail value you were told, as it's pure fiction. There are new PP's on the 'bay that have Swiss automatic movements, and they aren't selling at the $200 mark. A quartz model, not to mention a used one, wouldn't be worth as much. Sorry for that bad news. If it were me, I'd try buying a nice brown croc-pattern strap from someone like the watchprince. If you look at the bottom of this page, you'll see banners for a couple of different strap sellers. You measure between the lugs, keeping in mind the strap has to fit completely inside it, and straps are sold in millimeters. If you're not sure, you could probably have a jewelry store measure it for you. If you go the strap route, get a deployant clasp (either silver or gold colored, whichever matches the case color of the watch) at the same time. Saves shipping costs, and makes it look nice. One last suggestion. Depending on how large the present bracelet is sized for, you might be able to take it to a jewelry store and have them remove the section at the end, which might allow you to reattach the link. Good luck, hope something turns out for. BTW, don't buy a strap and clasp from a jewelry store, they are VERY overpriced. One of the vendors here can very easily beat their prices for a good strap and clasp. David
