Need Help finding a part for my Marine Master

[ScubaDude3506]

Hello, I am new to the Fortis Forum and I am in need of some assistance. I purchased my first Fortis a short while back B-42 Marine Master Black dial and immediately it became my #1 watch. so several months later I went ahead and purchased my 2nd Fortis (another B-42 Marine Master with White Dial) again another great purchase. Here is my problem. When changing from the steel bracelet to the leather strap, I made the stupid mistake of applying too much pressure to the screw that inserts into the lug bar holding the strap to the watch. You now the one that is such a pain to line up properly because of the notch. Well, my stupid mistake ended up twisting the head off of the screw, so now I have a lug bar that has a broken screw in it. Where can I obtain a new lug bar and screw for the Fortis B-42 Marine Master? There is no AD anywhere close to where I live (Ft Campbell, KY Army post) and I purchased both of my watches from a WUS forum member and not a store itself. Anybody that can come to my rescue on this matter?

Thanks

Howard

Anybody have an AD that they can ask about the part, all of the US AD that I have called want me to send them the whole watch so that they can charge me for a service as well as the part, they do not want to sell me the part by itself.
