Gav_tt225 Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 Further to my thread over in the Breitling area I'm in need of some expert advice to remove my clasp. Andrew has agreed to send a new clasp as the current one on my steelfish is shockingly bad to put it mildly. However, i'm a bit stuck as I just cannot seem to remove a simple pin. It looks slightly flat headed on both ends so pushing through seems impossible. Anybody got a clue on how to do this please... I've searched everywhere for the answer but can't find it. Here's the pin i'm talking about. Cheers guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icoopernicus Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 It almost looks like it comes off at the link, does the new clasp include that center link piece? Here is a clasp for sale on the bay and that last center link piece is attached at the point that you are trying to separate it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B3nj4min3 Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 I would have thought the same thing. When I was scouting for a new clasp on eBay the real difficulty was finding one that had the same centre link attached so that I could change the clasp out at the link as icoopernicus stated.

Gav_tt225 Posted October 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 Guys I think you are completely right and thanks icoopernicus for the image, makes a lot more sense now. I don't have the clasp as of yet but Andrew has agreed to send one. he did mention sending a QC pic first, so i'll be looking out for that end link connected. On a plus as well that means I will have the other part too with the Breitling logo stamped on... currently the one I have is awful as you can see from the pics. Fingers crossed Andrew comes through on his word. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uberscreamer Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 I was thinking the same thing, guys. I don't think that Andrew would bother to source just the locking latch for you when he can likely only get the entire spare clasp. No point in him separating the parts out when you can just get the whole piece, especially since the latch is held down by a riveted bar. Hopefully he will find a good one for you and your 'Fish will look as legit as it can! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icoopernicus Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 Wish I could have convinced Josh to send me a new clasp after my PO ceramic clasp failed, as in it looks great but doesn't work at all. He did offer me a new bracelet for $80 though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
