Problem with Daytona :(

[BigJonMcQuimm]

Hi

I have a problem with my SS Daytonta.

I went to bed a little worse for wear on Friday...woke up Saturday and my watch is on the floor and broke!! *sob*

Ok. all is not lost.. but I am concerned.

The security clasp that folds over the braclet and locks no longer works. It will no longer meet the clasp and lock in place.

Something seems to be stopping it close - but nothing obvious. It does not look bent - and I do not want to force the clasp to shut.

The first stage, where the bracelet folds in on it self is good, and the first close works - with everything locking in place. Only when I fold the clasp over is there a sign of a problem!!!

Any ideas?

Went to the watch repair shop my Monument.

Turns out I had bent the clasp a little.

A quick tap with a small hammer ... and all is well *phew*

Many thanks to the shop :-)

Never been so terrified watching the lady hammer the watch...

I was in near disbelief .... *bang* *Bang* *bang*

Must take balls of steel to just give it a go!!!!!

Kudos all the way!

No, it's knowing where to hit and just how hard is the real skill....





















(Obviously there's years of reducing clients to tears/rage because you've made a complete balls-up of it)
