Hi,

The clasp pin on this watch seems to be too short? It goes through one hole, then doesn't really go through the hole on the other side meaning it just comes out whenever I take the watch off.

Does anyone have a fix for this or know what kind of pin I need to buy? Weirdly struggling to find them on ebay.

The spring bar looks jacked, the plunger on the left side seems to be bound in the barrel, try pulling on it with some tweezers and see if you can get it to extend. Also check the channel in the clasp that the spring bar slides through to make sure it's not crimped on one side and retarding the action on the spring bar plunger, that could be what's jamming it into the barrel. Hopefully you can get that spring bar to work- finding the exact replacement would be a p.i.a. and you'd probably end up having to source a new clasp.

I just had a look at mine and it was sticking thru one side more than the other, it was pretty easy to push it back thru the other side so its even on both.

If you're unable to get the one side of the shoulder dislodged then you can purchase some single shoulder bars from here, my guess is you will need 16-18mm.
