Loose clasp on bracelet


Recommended Posts

Hi, 

I have a tri clasp with lock, but the clasp on one of the sides is loose (the short clasp). It will not keep in place, and opens up. Please see pictures, it is hard to explain:huh:

Any tips on how to tighten this?

Something looks very wrong to me the way that bracelet has been assembled. It looks as if the stainless clasp plate has been fitted back to front. The safety latch should be over the end that is coming undone.........:unsure:

I think it might be correctly fitted since the bulb part and the groove looks to be on the right position to make it possible to fold it, but the small lock at the end has probably broken off.

The clip over latch has to be over the part of the bracelet that clips down or, as in this case, it is doing absolutely nothing at all.......

I just assume this is something like a TAG aquaracer and in that case it should have a small lock part at the end of the clasp, so my guess was this lock which watchtime thought would be tightened has done what they usually do, break off.. just a thought.

Trust TAG to have a totally different style of bracelet design to anybody else......:thumbsd:

Thanks for all the help so far! The watch is a TAG Heuer 1000. I looked up some pictures of the diver extention clip online. Not too many pictures of the actual extention, but it looks like this model don’t have the tab (or the other ovners also broke it). 

This watch has been mine for many years, but i recently moved the pin that connects the extention to the lock, one notch looser. If i tighten it one notch in again, the problem disappers (but band is too tight).

    • in general this shouldn't be any change. but in general questions like this it be nice to know the specifics of the watch in other words how was it performing before it was cased up and what is it doing now.
    • just as a reminder this watch is a Swatch group product. This will bring up a problem like spare parts and technical information. that I found some links to some information on when I talk about your watch and some of the technical and basically your watch is equivalent to 2834-2 for which I'm attaching the technical sheets. But equivalent does not mean exactly the same you want to do a search on the group for C07 as we discussed this watch before including the technical differences how it's supposed to be regulated and basically because it's watch group there is no parts availability. https://calibercorner.com/eta-caliber-c07-xxx/   https://www.chrono24.com/magazine/eta-movements-from-the-2824-2-to-the-powermatic-80-p_80840/ https://www.watchuseek.com/threads/h-10-movement-details.4636991/ eta CT_2834-2_FDE_481857_15.pdf
    • people be honest.... Swatch is evil for the watchmakers and repairers, BUT not everything in watches from Switzerland is from the Swatch-Group. As far as i know, Selitta got sacked by Swatch as a Movement-Assembler for them and they started to produce Movements in their own Name with slight Modifications. As far as i know, they sell Parts to the Market for their Movements. In most cases, if a ETA-Movement fails, it is a valid Option to replace it with a Selitta Movement, which i consider the Solution for this Mess with the Swatch-Group...... I have no Connection to anybody at Selitta, but being a Swiss-Guy, i still like to have Swiss-Made Watches, but not from the Swatch-Group.   ok ? regards, Ernst
    • Just one more greedy act by Swatch. They started a number of years ago here in the US..cutting off supplies to watchmakers that could build complications that many Swatch houses couldn't even touch. Old school masters who had gone through some of the most prestigious houses in the world. Otto Frei has some statements on their page about it. I tell all my customers to avoid new Swiss watches like the plague,..unless they just want an older one in their collection that still has some parts out on the market, or they have really deep pockets and don't mind waiting months and paying through the nose to get it back. Plenty of others to choose from..IE Seiko,..or other non-swiss brands Even a number of Chinese brands are catching up with the Swiss,..and I think that in time, their actions will be their downfall
    • Yes. If that's not what you are experiencing...start looking for something rubbing. A 1st guess is that one of the hands is rubbing against the hole in the center of the dial. Especially if you now have lower amplitude in face up/ face down positions.
