Clasps - Where to buy

[cyprella]

Hi all,

I am after clasps some of my older vintage pieces. I like older gen watches but prefer the newer clasps and bracelets.
I find the old bracelets are now very stretched and don't have the on the fly adjustability.

Specifically, I am looking for a modern Date Just clasp (jubilee style) and a Tudor T Link style clasp (oyster style). I have attached links of the style I am after.
I want the DJ clasp for a 1971 Oyster Precision 34mm and Tudor T Link for 1990 Tudor Mini-Sub 33mm.

When I have asked TD (such as chasing time) they don't sell them separately (which I can understand).

Does anyone know where I can source these?
I suppose I can purchase the whole watch and attempt to resell the actual watch...

You can check out rafflesdials

Although, I'm not sure this is the correct website, someone else can confirm

For the modern clasp if you want one just look at Aliexpress but they're not the greatest quality. If you want a good quality clasp from the high tier factories you'll have to buy a whole bracelet and then part it out,sell the bracelet links to recoup loss

I'm happy to buy the whole bracelet I just cant find anyone selling just the bracelets. Raffeles clasps seem very similar to that on Ali.

Have you tried asking every dealer? Try CTime for a Clean bracelet. I know you haven't tried lol.
