Erict719 Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 got the tc, great bracelet, feel and look gen. However is glasp is really unacceptable. 1) shape is not rectangle. 2) the glasp is not even flat looking from the bottom part, 3) from the side view , ( mirror side )!the head of it is obviously wider then the end part, 4) the flip down lock surface is machined poorly, different reflection, the (2 line ) on it is not as deep as the rest of the glasp. 5) the crown on the glasp ! the bottom half of the crown is flatten out, looks like it was squeezed down. The surrounding of the crown is machined poorly as we'll. 6) the spring bar of the extension is thin, easily pop out of the glasp hole. is it just me or everyone else is the same!?!?

dan_189 Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 Thats a long list for a $49 rep bracelet, for that money wear and enjoy! I can see where youre coming from though, I actually thought the TC was decent quality and shape. In saying that... On the TC I had, the screw holding the clasp to the bracelet refused to come out, then when it did it wouldnt go back in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonyyammine Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 I don't like the clasp. But the bracelet is a perfect fit. I used the v2 clasp with the v3 bracelet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HartDoc Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 the V2 clasp is better than than v3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cougar1 Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 Yeah alot of people seem to be doing that lately, V2 clasp with V3 bracelet. I don't have a V3 bracelet, but with a couple of V2's I've had the clasp is excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erict719 Posted January 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 I am using wm9 v3 glasp with it now. I think wm9 is have the best QC til now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inertiadrifter Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 Yes the v3 clasp is bad the flip lock doesn't line up but the V2 is really. Good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

om3ga_guy Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 The V3 clasp is hit and miss. I've had a handful of crappy ones too. My recent clasp came out great, full coronet, firm flip lock and the most important part of the V3 clasp ---- correct SWISS MADE stamp! Can't get that on the V2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erict719 Posted January 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 How about the tw sub glasp ? Is it good? Better then tc or wm9?? Please post pic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irolexu Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 TW clasp was actually quite nice. I guess you could always take all the best parts of all the best clasps and put them together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan_189 Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 How easy is it to take a part a clasp? I haven't seen that done other than taking out the divers extension Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erict719 Posted January 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 that is exectlyn what I was thinking. But how to take it apart, that pin with the polish head which attach the glasp together.. I have no idea how to unscrew it . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erict719 Posted January 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 Since the v3 have the best engraving , just the out side cover is poor . if use tw or wm9 out side and v3 inside . Perfect. By the way, wm9 better or tw glasp ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan_189 Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 I dont think you can actually mix and match clasps that easily. I think the only inter changeable part is the divers extension. A genuine divers extension does not fit the TC or the Sean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
om3ga_guy Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 (edited) The TC V3 clasp is built different than the V2 and TW. I tried it...they all look th same side by side, but the dimensions are different on all three believe it or not. You can put some of the pieces together but the flip lock will never shut properly. The tolerances are all off from each other. All you can do is mix and match clasps and end, but not clasp components...

irolexu Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 You have to destroy the pin and replace it with a new one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seafoam Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 (edited) I don't like the clasp. But the bracelet is a perfect fit. I used the v2 clasp with the v3 bracelet. +1, i did the same thing. I dont condone starting a thread over it though Edited January 27, 2013 by seafoam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
