Is the diver's extension properly folded under the retainer? If that isn't closed properly, it can result in the opening of the main clasp, which you've described...

thanks =)

the diver's extension looks fine, but it`s the "spring" inside the clasp that dont work, i think. because i only need to push one of the pushbuttons on the clasp to open it, when i push the other, nothing happens?

Ah, I've heard of springs sometimes failing in the clasps, but other than getting the spring repaired/replaced, or sourcing a new clasp, there's not really much which can be done...

ok, and thanks again!

I think I`l try to take the clasp apart and see if i can see wats wrong, maybe it`s fixable

[If you see Kay]

yes, it is fixable, I had the same problem with my watch. The spring is available at Ofrei, but you can fix the one you have first. get a needle nose pliers and squeeze the basturd in situ, so the spacing between the spring is tighter.

You can also remove the individual components of the clasp and take out the spring and start squeezing it together with pliers as well.

No worries, best of luck with your surgery There's nothing as satisfying as performing a mod or repair and having it come out as planned
