    swinter, I found this info on a watch blog from 1998:

    "Daniel Mink Relaunches
    Daniel Mink's marketing hiatus is about to end. The 20-year-old Swiss watch brand has been occupied in recent years with strenuous product development, paying off debts and refinancing. Now it's on the verge of a worldwide relaunch, with two new flagship watch collections and newfound marketing power, courtesy of its U.S. distributor, the Montreaux Group. The target: jewelry stores and better department stores.

    Daniel Mink's long-term goals are fewer stores, more marketing and retail support. Distribution will be more selective than in the past – not to exceed 100 stores in 1998.

    More aggressive marketing includes Daniel Mink billboards, now popping up in large cities such as New York and Los Angeles. Ads will grace buses, phone kiosks and television programs like VH1's “My Generation.” It is the exclusive watch sponsor of the popular program.

    Daniel Mink hadn't advertised to the consumer in about four years. Now it's backed by a multimillion-dollar consumer and trade blitz. The ad budget has been increased about fivefold, says Mitchell Caplan, vice president of marketing. “We wanted to be quiet and concentrate on product development rather than sales,” he says. “Without substantial advertising in the U.S., it would have been a choppy effort. We want a full-blown effort.”

    That effort includes a generous co-op program, as well as redesigns of the watch line itself, the packaging and displays.

    The two new watch collections are called Intrinsic and Pentimento. The Intrinsic line features automatic movements, sapphire crystals on front and back, power reserve meters and date windows. It comes in steel with silver or black dial on a bracelet or genuine alligator strap; an 18k gold bezel is available. The Intrinsic Collection retails from $1,395 to $2,095.

    Pentimento, inspired by Daniel Mink's tradition, derives its name from a painting technique. The line, which debuted at the recent Basel Fair, showcases sapphire crystals, engraved crowns and casebacks, and a crocodile strap, steel bracelet or 18k gold and steel bracelet. A women's model is distinctive in 18k gold and steel with diamonds. Pentimento retails up to $2,995.

    Daniel Mink also plans to relaunch its 1900 collection in 1999 – just in time for the year 2000. The Montreaux Group is looking to acquire other watch brands in the future, according to Caplan. "



    I do not know if they managed to overcome their financial problems. It also appears your bolero watch is an older one so it will not be easy to find a replacement band.

    However, you might have a bit of luck visiting these two links. Contact them and ask if they have any idea of where you might purchase the band (as you have done here). Once you can get the band, any jeweler or watch repair shop should be able to fix it for you. Good luck! :)

    Hi... my friend has a Daniel Mink Bolero watch, which he's been wanting to sell. He's had it for 17+ years, and has worn it only a very few times. It is truly like brand new. Are you interested in speaking with him?

    Daniel Mink Swiss Timepieces has been purchased by Mitchell Caplan. Find Daniel Mink Watch Wholesale Suppliers which supplies and offers at Daily Trader. I'm a watchexpert & I have many collections of Bulova, Seiko, Casio, Invicta, Pulsar & etc. But I'm huge fan of pulsar.
