Either way, it is very nice

How was the bezel installed without over grinding it (like on Spin's version)?

Guys, I've gotten a couple of questions about taking the clasp apart. It will come apart fairly easily if you depress the glide lock button and give it a good pull, with a little downward force at the end. You do need to remove both of the small screws to install the new springs. Depress the button while unscrewing the screws and be careful, the screws are very small and can go flying if you release the push button too soon. Once lost, you will never find them! Marty

Very nice. Is the crystal on the 7032 gen?

I have no idea. We shall see ... It's got to be better than spending $270 on a gen clasp Other than this problem, it seems to be well made.

Problem solved ... maybe The consensus is that weak button springs cause the divers deployant to self-deploy. With that being said, stronger springs should solve the problem. I found this while looking for a source of small springs. http://garagegunsmit....php&f=33&t=268 So, I started a scavenger hunt. First I found a mostly empty can of compressed air. Tore into it. I think the fumes are toxic, btw. Great spring, but it was too big. Then I tore apart a couple of ball point pens. Right size, but not strong enough. Found another can of something ... half full. I think it was Pledge. Got yelled at by wifey. Kept looking ... found a bic lighter. Don't tear into this one unless you are sure it's empty. Yes, I now know this first hand. Low and behold, it has two springs! One for the flint and one for the plunger. The plunger spring is a beefy little guy, but too big. The flint spring looked about perfect. It is slightly wider than the clasp spring (you really can't tell from the pic) and its pretty strong. I cut two that were slightly longer than the clasp springs. I popped them in and they seem to work perfectly. It takes more force to push the button and there is a much more satisfying click when you move the deployant. It definitely stays put now. I guess the proof will be if it still says put a month from now. Just in case you did not see my original post, I found this on RWI. It's very important that you file the teeth on the push button to make them more defined. http://www.replica-w...html#post598817 The small spring is the original clasp spring. The long spring is the flint spring (both ends have been cut to make the new clasp springs). Refiled teeth

Didn't EL have a thing for women body builders?

I use Bergeon rubber satin finish bars. I find that I can get a much more even finish with these. http://www.ofrei.com/page250.html

Well, I am going to see how this goes and looks for some new springs in the meantime. If that doesn't work, I am going to get a gen clasp. I doubt if I will be taking it apart

Heavy rain in Maryland ...

I think if you just opened the springs, that would probably happen. Reshaping the teeth is the main part of the mod. If the springs do collapse, maybe springs from a ball point pen would work?

Guys, I just did this mod. I did not have much luck with putting the small piece of rubber in the push button slot (I cut a small slice off an old rubber strap), but I was able to use a jewelers file define the teeth on the button and I opened up the springs a little bit. That seemed to work well (you need to remove both small screws to do this). I am going to wear the watch for a couple of hours to see if it worked for sure, but it looks good so far. This isn't the greatest pic, but you can see that the teeth mesh together much better now. Thanks. Marty

V2 clasp fix posted on RWI http://www.replica-w...html#post598817

How big are the springs?

The mesh has been ordered. Now I am pondering a gen clasp

I think Kurt's Rolex dealer is the exception to the rule. I know more than one dealer and I can't get them to sell me parts and I consider them to be friends. I think it is mostly out of fear of being found out by Rolex. So in the end, it is supply vs. demand. I am willing to pay a premium for rare parts (like a gen crystal for my 7032), but everyone has their limits.

I love my V2. It is the most comfortable brick of steel that I have ever worn. It hasn't been of my wrist since getting it, but the self-extending diver's clasp is annoying I assume a weak spring in the push button is causing the problem, but no one seems to have come up with a fix yet. Should I drop $270 on a gen clasp? I have not seen one in person, but my local Omega dealer says it is a thing of beauty. Thanks. Marty

That makes The Shawshank Redemption seem mild

That's the same price I got from a local Omega dealer.

On my wrist since I got it yesterday

Thanks. Marty

I got lucky on that one Is your 128 installed? If so, did you have to mod the bezel to get it to fit properly? Your bezel looks much better than the one that Spin did recently.
