18K lug on watch - possible to re-shape/ re-fit?

[Fleur_the_rabiit]

Hello!

I recently bought a watch which has a badly damaged lug (18K gold). The lug is quite deformed in shape. It is aesthetically poor, holds the watch strap bar insecurely and at an odd angle to the watch body.

I expect it has been damaged in the past and an amateur repair attempted. I imagine the minimum needed here is a removal of the lug, re-shaping, and re-attachment to the watch such that the strap bar can attach reliably.

Is this something that can reasonable be achieved? Is this an expensive or difficult repair?

Many thanks!
