edgematic1 Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 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.

BrianSW510 Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 like I mentionned on RG, I might have a bracelet/clasp that may fit.. not sure. It is from the POrrika 42mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgematic1 Posted May 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 brian, if you'd be able to measure the width, it could help to know if it fits, though I don't think so... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianSW510 Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 Ya, seems like it rather won't fit. Goodluck in your search Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheH Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 (edited) I'm on the same boat, that little ball pin or however you call it fell off. Edited May 31, 2010 by TheH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david-aussie Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgematic1 Posted June 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

automatico Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 I'm on the same boat, that little ball pin or however you call it fell off. 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.
