Can anyone let me know where I can source a replacement clasp for my TC Yacht Master? Or does anyone have one they can sell me? The coronet fell off. Thanks.

It seems the same "Ken Shua" runs both "rafflestime" and "rafflesdials" but you can get items really different depending on which site you order from.
Nevertheless, even if the clasp is not perfect, if the coronet is OK then you can upgrade with a dremel it if you're handy enough :
1 - redo a mirror polish all over the clasp - I use some dialux white then dialux blue
2 - protect the parts that should be polished (I use vinyl electrical tape because it's thick enoug to resist when redoing the brushing)
3 - redo the brushing on both sides - I use dremel polishing brushes like this one
or "art" brushes like theese
Out of stock unfortunately.

The clasp is $20 with free shipping but they charge $25 handling fee! WTF!
When Apple charges you 35€ for its useless EarPods....
Humm, the site instructed me to contact them when purchasing this item. Ken then gives me this Ebay listing to purchase and all I need to pay is the $20. No $25 handling fee.

They ship to France (if often order parts from Ken's rafflesdials site ... and NO handling fees) and not to Canada ?They don't ship to Canada.
Did they explain why ?
BTW ... you could try to mod a brushed clasp if you can get one that fits your yachtmaster.
First you completely rebrush it with a really high grade sanbdblock ( a flexible one).
Then you polish it with dialux white and blue (you need a Dremel here) and continue the process I have detailed in my first post here.

BTW ... did you lost the coronet or do you still have it ?
If you have it you could try silver soldering it on the clasp (search "jewelery silver soldering" on YouTube).

They said that Canada Post always losses their packages so that's why they don't send to Canada. I actually bought the watch like that so I don't have the coronet.

Do you have a friend in US that could receive the clasp and send it to you ?
It will cost you only a few bucks more ????
I would have do that for you but I live in France.

I have tried DHGate for a new omega clasp but there are so many offers, that you have to be careful.

Possibly AliExpress ... Some stores, when asked, can offer rep clasps and bracelets.
I'll ask a friend who has ordered a Rol bracelet if the quality is good, so so or bad.
