IWC Tiny Fastener Ring

[Cromag]

I'm hoping to tap into the collective here to find a quick solution to my problem. I received a new 3777 rep to find that the button/pin on the clasp falling out because it is missing a fastener ring to hold it in place. TD says he cannot get the ring from the maker because the bracelet is from a different source. He says I need to mail back the bracelet for return/repair.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to get a ring fastener to fit without mailing back the watch.

That looks like an E clip maybe? You can get those at any hardware store.

Looks to me like the type of circlip that's used to retain pushers in chrono watches. You should be able to get them from Cousins, Otto Frei, Jules Borel etc.

also for a quick fix for the time being, just wrap some wire around the pin a few times if u want to wear it while you wait for your c/e-clip assortment to arrive

Great replies, guys! Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

This definitely beats sending a brand new watch back to China for possibly a 3 month torture.
