UPO clasp broke!

[edgematic1]

A few weeks ago I was wearing my UPO, when I took the watch off my wrist, the clasp suddenly broke, the steal literally split apart.

Anyone who has a spare clasp of bracelet? I already contacted hackR for his spare one.

Anyone who also got this problem?

Best regards,

Ed.

Which part is broken, is it the pin in the middle?

[cib0rgman]

if the pin in the middle is broken. I repaired my using a cloth pin

[edgematic1]

no, its not the pin, its the steel part where the pin is attached to

[BrianSW510]

like I mentionned on RG, I might have a bracelet/clasp that may fit.. not sure. It is from the POrrika 42mm.

[edgematic1]

brian, if you'd be able to measure the width, it could help to know if it fits, though I don't think so...

[BrianSW510]

Ya, seems like it rather won't fit. Goodluck in your search

I believe that that part if you still have it can be repaired with glue and maybe a little metal work like peaning the back side of the pin to ensure it holds

[david-aussie]

mine did the same thing. luckily I caught the pin . I use two part epoxy glue on the tip of

the pin and its been holding for 3 months now.

[edgematic1]

it's not the pin that broke off, the pin is ok, its the steel part where the pin is glued on, the steel piece has torn apart...

[fakemaster]

Did you ever get one of these?

[Bobbywaingro]

I have attached the pic of the piece that I need.

I had the same problem with a SMP a couple years back...the latch pin pulled out of the clasp blade and I glued the pin back in the clasp with 'JB Weld' and it held Ok. I also put a couple small dimples in the pin where it presses into the blade to tighten it up a bit.

I traded the watch away and do not know how long the fix lasted.

I recently bought two SMP from yeldarb (one new and one like new):

...and they both have the catch pin riveted to the clasp blade with a pretty good size rivet head on the back side so maybe some models have been improved.

One other thing I noticed about the two new clasps is that there is a little bit of up and down motion on the clasp cap with the cap latched down. The other SMP I had was fairly tight when closed and took some pinching to get it snapped sometimes. The tight fit might also have something to do with latch pins pulling out.
