TeeJay Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torjus Posted March 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 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?

TeeJay Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 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...

torjus Posted March 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
If you see Kay Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 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.
