So I just purchased a rose gold deployment clasp and attached a black coco strap to it. I realized I do not have a metal "pin" or "rod" so I can attach the other side of the coco strap to the deployment clasp.....2 Questions:

1) Does this have to be Rose Gold like every other aspect of the watch?

if so...

2) Where can I get one of these?

Thanks

I don't believe the pins are gold because of strength issues, I would just use a regular springbar on the basis it is much less likely to bend than gold.

I wasn't sure about this Roff, because the pins that attach the Croco Strap to the Watch itself are rose Gold. Could they just be rose gold plated possibly?

If I use a regular steel pin do you know what size I would need to order? If the pins that attach the watch are around 22mm, Im assuming this pin i would need is roughly 18-20mm?

As always, thank you sir.

Don't know the length off hand, suggest you simply measure. I'm not aware of solid gold spring bars, but if that's what you want to try and get you'll likely have to contact an AD.
