Alan_Schezar Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 Hello, recently, my clasp broke and I was wondering if any had any advice... The tab fell out one day, and I put it back in, and it seemed to stay in for a while, but then it fell out again and I can't find it. Currently, the only way I can get the watch off of my wrist is to carry around a paper clip to push in the spring and release the clasp. Maybe I could buy another clasp, but how would I install it? Thanks in advance, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAMman Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 I have had more hassle with mine than any other component - it's just a POS. Chuck it out with the trash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polynomial Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 Seems to you out to get yourself a new deployant -- these are usually good quality, I have 4 and none broke...so far... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 Just buy a new one. They are readily available and not particularly expensive. And for the record, the gens are not particularly better. Of a half a dozen PAM deployants the only one that broke was the gen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ximenes Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 yeah, whenever you get a new one of these deployments you should check it closely by pulling/wiggling the push pins to see if they fall out. If they are inclined to do so tap on the tang that overhangs the pushpin with a pin punch and a hammer. It won't take much and they will stay in thereafter.

Highflyingclive Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 Just throw it out and fit a tang buckle. The deployant, in my opinion, is both ugly and uncomfortable. Here is a nicely engraved PVD tang that I received from Davidsen recently: Much prettier than the deployant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
