Well I'm a fool , I resized my strap today on my SNM035 and did it in a rush. Not thinking took the pins out ,adjusted the strap and put the watch on. I went to the shop and put my hand in my pocket and my watch fell off. Doh !.. I forgot about the collars . Lucky me it fell off in my pocket. Anyway I rushed home but was too late ,her indoors was vacuuming the living room and sucked up my collars .
Does anyone know where I can get the pins and collars , or is it Seiko only ?.
Please help I want to wear my watch lol.

Are they attracted to a magnet? If so, carefully empty the vacuum cleaner bag and pass a strong magnet over the contents.

I think they are Myles but I'm allergic to dust so I think I will use some of spare links I have and try to get some new ones. Good Idea but I'm too soft lol.

These collars differ by the bracelet. They are not universal.
What is your model number? I have some in my stash. I can mail you first class in the USA for free if I have them.

I can't find the part number for the link fixing pipe (aka collar) anywhere. There are many different types.
Suggest you call Seiko Service. They can at least give you the part number and if in stock should send you a few freebies Otherwise PM me the part number they provide and I'll see what I can do.

I always wondered if there might be some kind of 'hack' for these when they are missing. Maybe a dab of rubber cement in the depression in the link where the collar would normally go? Once the rubber cement sets, the pin isn't going anywhere...and it is the pin that actually holds the links together. All the collar does is keep the pin from sliding out.
Pressing the pin out of the rubber cement if the need should arise again shouldn't be a problem, right?

I hate those bloody things! I've had a few go flying when trying to size a bracelet and once thy fly they are darn near impossible to find! Horrible system IMHO!

Well I have just been onto Seiko UK. What a waste of time ,on the phone waiting for nearly 30 mins to be told they will only supply to Seiko suppliers .The nice lady did give me the part number ( 33822G/LK ) but no good if they don't supply them.
Oh well back to the drawing board.

33822G/LK is the part number for an entire link to the full bracelet which is part number 3382ZG.
All you want is the collar, you have the pin is that right ? I can just snail mail you a few modern collars for trial and error, beats the alternative of not being able to use it. Worth a try.
I like CobraJet25s way of thinking outside the box too. Where there is a will there is a way.

I think were on the same page, just ordered some pins and collars from cousins , If they don't fit then It will be what CobraJet25 suggested .Plus I have asked a Seiko stockist in the UK to see if they can order some . |

I once lost a couple of collars while adjusting an integrated bracelet of an Auto Relay Kinetic, and took collars from my extra Sumo links...worked with no probs!
