Greetings from the Lower East Side,
I have a 14060M (purchased new in early 2011) with a busted clasp...
I'd like to replace either the clasp and/or the entire bracelet with an adjustable/Glidelock-style doohickey, but haven't yet been able to source a reliable option. Just wondering if anyone out there has successfully tackled this dilemma. It's not crucial to me that the replacement components be branded - sterile is just fine so long as the product is of reasonable quality.
Thanks in advance for any tips, and likewise for the many hours of enjoyment perusing all these old threads. This joint has really opened my eyes to many things I had no absolutely idea existed, and I consider many of you to be genuine craftsmen.
-Moody.

Personally I'd rather buy the best rep parts from a TD, they are usually better quality than any aftermarket

That being said, I know nothing about the 14060 so you would have to confirm if a noob v7 or other glidelock would fit the bracelet, it fits the 16610 though

Just get a noob clasp. PM your TD of choice and ask for one. I've swapped them with my 5 digit flip lock clasp a bunch of times.

Most all are 20mm bracelets. Check to see if yours is 20mm at the buckle or 18mm.

Many thanks for the responses, guys. Big help. Will check in with a TD accordingly.
Best case scenario would be sourcing a clasp alone that's compatible with the extant OEM bracelet. Found this:

...but I'm watch-rich/cash-poor, thus wary of rolling dice.

Just get a noob clasp mate. Im sure one of the TD's will supply them, or take a look in the M2M parts section :)
