Hello All,

Got my Tag Carerra Day Date Calibre 16 Chronograph from Asian 7750 about four months ago.

Have been using it in daily wear as I intended.

Over time I have observed that now the push button deployant buckle has become very loose itself and pops open even with the slight movement of the wrist when the watch is worn. As a result the watch has already fallen off my hand once due to this sudden opening of the clasp, fortunately nothing was damaged.

However this raises the question on the build quality of the Asian 7750 replica bracelt and the locking mechanism. The push buttons on both sides of the buckle go full depth when pressed and i hear a very faint click sound when it settles in the groove cut out. Even then it slips out quite often now without touching the buttons.

I guess the edges of the small teeth which fit in the groove have become worn off with regular usage OR the groove edges itsself have become a little worn off and open due to daily usage, either ways it was not the quality I expected.

I am attaching some pictures with the possible problem areas.

I would definitely appreciate some expert help, hopefully anything for which I can apply the fix myself.

Just to update I can really vouch for Tony, the guy running http://asian7750.com .

I wrote to him about the issue I had mentioned in my thread and sent him the pictures, he kept on being in contact with me for a month or two to find an exact replacement clasp.

Finally he found the replacement and shipped it to me.......all free of charge....since I am a regular customer who keep on buying from him and have recommended him to other connoisseurs as well.

I found him to be of great help with the true sense of keeping a positive relationship with the customers even after the sales (unlike what usually happens with such purchases online, that a deal is only as good as long as the product and money changes hands).

Maybe helpful for anyone else in a similar fix.

Thanks.
