watchlover321 Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 I just got it from Andrew.. ultra-fast shipping! awesome! I didn't even have a chance to wound the watch. But my problem is this: There's 'clicky' ball bearings in the clasps that hold it in place... they always fall off... look at pics below for details.. The sucky thing is everytime I open the clasps the ball bearing literally shoots out Took me an hour to look for on my carpet floor. I just emailed Andrew and waiting for a reply; I'm sure he'll have a good solution since he is prolly the best reviewed sellers out there. Anyone else experiencing this?

fendushi Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 Very unlucky, mate. I'm sure Andrew will make things right. Mine doesn't have that problem... but i'm keeping a very close eye on the 2 tiny screws hloding the clasp together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 Strange problem indeed. I wish I could help. The construction is strange too. I'm sure your local watchsmith can fix that easily (or at least figure out an alternative way to reattach it). Or perhaps ask Andrew to send you just a new bracelet? PS: Can you tighten the clasp from there? Did those parts fell off of the similar hole (as the one I boxed in the picture)? I mean... are these clasp micro adjustment holes? We were wondering about this a while ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watchlover321 Posted September 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 Yes By-tor: those are clasp micro-adjustment holes. The holes which the bearings fall off of is similar in size, but different location. I'm sure you know which bearings I'm talking about. In my (simple) terminology, they make the 'click' sound when one closes the Tag Heuer Link bracelet clasp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 Thanks for verifying that. If they're indeed adjustment holes there should be a simple way to open the mechanism. I've had my watch for two months now and I still haven't figured it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watchlover321 Posted September 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 Hmmm.. upon closer inspection, this bracelet has dented links... ugh.. like if you take a power tool to the stainless steel and scrape it a bit.. ouch. I think I will ask for some sort of replacement bracelet from Andrew. But I'll wait for his first reply re: the original problem. Thanks for the support guys!

r11co Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 If they're indeed adjustment holes there should be a simple way to open the mechanism. I've had my watch for two months now and I still haven't figured it out. There's a spring bar hidden in there connecting the section of the clasp with the multi adjustment holes to the bracelet link. See my post about bracelet problems! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kasigi Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 Totally the opposite to mine, mine was graunched and the sticky out bits were flush with the clasp, the clicky lock bit didn't click or lock at all. I'm wearing mine on a bond nato while waiting for a replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cib0rgman Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 (edited) Hello There, The same thing happen to me when I try to do a micro adjustment, it will break once you removed. I went to the Mall and there is always little watch repair shops, I ask them to put a push pin there, they charged me $25.00 it was expensive, but it works just fine. Good luck Never mind I know what you mean know that is not what happen to my. Sorry Edited September 28, 2006 by cib0rgman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
