Broken original Apple watch link bracelet .

[ClaytonBorgMalta]

Just received an original link bracelet, and after one day of use , it broke in 2 pieces (kindly note that it did not break from the adjustable parts but from the fixed links). Is there a way it can be fixed ? Please note that there is no Apple store in my country, and am not plannig to travel back to the UK anytime soon. Very disappointed as this is Apple's most expensive band, and i could have easily bought a cheap clone band on Ebay than spending over €500 on the original.

Did you try calling apple for service/support?

I guess short of that, your only option is to take to a watch repair/jeweler and see if they can fix it.

I did contact Apple support, and they said i need to send it back to the UK, what i'm asking is if i can manually fix it myself, as am not planning to travel to the UK any time soon . This is my second Apple watch related problem, the first was about the watchface itself, replaced aftwr handling it physically in a UK store.
