scotty Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 After some 3 years of use with zero problems, today my clasp on my DSSD broke!!! There's a welded section joining the main clasp (that folds) to the first link on the bottom side of the bracelet (where the Rolex puch over clasp is). 2 tiny weld spots, but I'm butterfingers and can't even begin to think about doing it myself. Any Spain / EU modders good at small precision welding here????? BR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rrari1 Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 It might be cheaper to just purchase a replacement bracelet from an AD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty Posted December 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 Well.....the DSSD bracelets can be very hit or miss, and mine was a good one (till now). Hence I'd rather a welding expert have a go than risk a complete replacement. Thanks anyway..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FxrAndy Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 So what you need is a jeweler with a laser micro welder not a watch smith micro welding gear is very expensive and not what I would expect a watch smith to have. I would say find a local jeweler and start asking there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

louky Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 All rolex rep bracelets with the new type clasps have this problem eventualy,I had 2 broke there,one deep sea and a GMT II. Its easier to get a new one,i tried every method of soldering and welding ,they all brake. So i am also looking for a new clasp for a GMT II. Actually even then gen is sensetive at that part.
