Casio Slide Clasp
-
09-06-2015 4:56am#1Hey chaps, probably very simple one but I was adjusting the length of the strap on a Casio watch (LA-680WA) and I foolishly managed to bend the bar on the clasp. It doesn't clip on to the other end of the clasp anymore either
Bent out of shape at the red circle
I'm just wondering if it's a simple fix in a jewelers/watch repair place with or a case of them bending the bar back into shape and if so will it affect the bar? Or can the bar be replaced? Or the whole clasp replaced?
I can't find a simple replacement part online and I'd probably f it up i I try to fix it anymore myself so any suggestions on where to bring it to get it repaired/replaced? Should be simple and cheap enough right!?
And while I'm at it, here's the old watch I was using (Which the broken one above replaced!) broken in the bit where the pin goes...
Is it is dead or can it be fixed? Chances are it would just be easier to buy a new one but since I'm posting about the bar I thought I'd throw it in... Also I can't just swap the clasps since the straps are different widths.
Thx!0

The second pic looks pretty fatal Al.
If it was a very expensive watch or a family heirloom with sentimental value and it's stainless steel then it can be fixed but that kinda work is not cheap at all. Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.
