Datejust bracelet wont snap shut

Recommended Posts

Hi guys

My wifes DJ is playing up when trying to close the bracelet clasp... it wont snap/click shut.. just pops in and pops out...

I tried playing with the female connection but to be honest made it worse.... are there any tutorials on sorting these things please... I cant work out the principle of adjustment... ie should I increase the female gap? Reduce the female gap? or lift or lower the male connection?

Any help would be appreciated...

Pete,

On the clasp blades, you'll want to flatten the blade that actually touches the inside of the wrist when closed (this is the one with the stamped text 'REGISTERED SWISS MADE; STEELINOX, etc on it); you'll want to subsequently give the blade that's actually connected to the clasp a bit of a bend to give it more of a curved profile. You're essentially shortening the distance of the inside blade when closed which should give the clasp more tension/hold.

Let me know if clarification is needed (I know I'm probably not explaining this as well as I could or should be)...
