uPO clasp/bracelet problem.

I want to know if anyone knows what to do with my uPO clasp.

I don't have the usual problem when the clasp opens by it self.

Mine stays shut.

This is the bad side.

The spring looks okay, so I don't know if a fix like: http://replica-watch.info/forum/about25354...97ac2f7c3e2d447

would improve anything.

Please, any suggestions?

I had a similar problem with an SS bracelet (jewellery, not watch) several years back where the clasp kept 'slipping round' like that. The problem as I saw it, was that the bottom corner of the section, rather than having a hard 90 deg angle on it, had worn away to a rounded corner so wasn't able to maintain position, so slipped round. At a guess, I'd think you might have a similar problem there... If so, your only sollution would be to replace that 'link', or the entire bracelet... Best of luck :)

I had the same problem with my uPO. Just bent the clasp fold a bit at the marked spot. The metal is pliable. Heat it up with a fan so you're absolutely sure it won't break. Bent it from 1-->2 with a cloth wrapped around a plier to avoid marks and scratches.

Good luck!
