Vintage 9ct gold with fixed lugs (photo). One previously snapped mid-wire and was reattached. The other is now visibly bent. Watch runs fine and is otherwise pristine.

1. Jeweler's work or strict watchmaker territory?

2. Specialists you'd recommend (US/UK)?

3. Strap styles or wear tips that reduce stress on fragile lugs?

Sentimental piece.. goal is reliable wear.
