HELP: What part of bracelet is?

[ratpatrolteam01]

I just bought a watch and noticed one of the spring loaded ball/bearing is missing. I love this watch and I want to get this fixed!

Anyone know what it's called and where I acn get replacement parts? or am I SOL since it's proprietary or something... I hope a jeweler can fix it!

It looks to be a ball-bearing of some sort with a pin + spring inside it that gives pressure to the fold-over clasp to keep it closed. However one set is missing other is present. Is there a way to get replacements for this?

Can't really tell from the pictures, but the part of the bracelet you are referring to is the micro-adjustment bit, isn't it? Is the bracelet not working properly? What I am getting at is whether's there's actually a pin that goes into that bit, or if it's meant to be open unless you move the adjustment part in to slightly shorten the bracelet.

I think I recall seeing some information on this - let me try to dig it up and if I find it I'll post it here.

OKay, so IF this is the micro adjustment bit we're talking about, have a look at this thread:

And if it's not, my apologies

It's not the micro adjustment bit actually. It's the part where it holds the fold over clasp by applied pressure. Like a ball bearing pushed out by a very small spring and pin. The pin and spring though is separated by two pieces not a single piece.

Sorry the link is broken

So it's the bearing / ball (Which I believe is being pushed up by a spring + a pin) that adds pressure to the Bracelet Clasp that keeps it snapped shut / closed.

It's missing on one side. I was wondering if I have to get a new bracelet for this?
