Hello all -

I'm the happy owner of a 2016 JLC QP, and my wife owns a lovely Reverso - both of which employ JLC's quick release deployant clasp system. While we love both watches, I struggle constantly with one particular aspect of the JLC quick release deployant strap system. As those who are familiar will know, in addition to the spring bar quick releases between the lugs, there is also a connection between the deployant clasp itself and the leather strap. To release that connection (shown in the photo below), you push lightly on the "push here" area. It comes apart easily, however, I find it infuriatingly difficult to re-connect this part.

I've gone to the AD and asked what I'm doing wrong. Each time they show me how to reconnect it and it appears simple. However, when I get home I again struggle to connect it. So... I'm hoping there's someone here who can shed some light on the trick to re-connecting this part of the quick release deployant buckle to the strap.

Thanks!

The story of my life: it is the reason why I will replace it by a buckle [nt]

I'm glad it isn't just me! :)

The manual spring bar release between the lugs is great and easy, but it takes me 30 mins to get this one silly connection together after it comes apart. I'm fairly sure there's an angle or position it is supposed to sit in so that it comes together easily, I just don't know what that is.

The way to avoid the problem is to find the right way to open the clasp...

But I don’t want to run the risk to see it come apart... So I will put the buckle. Thanks for your post!

I tried once, but quickly. I will make a report on these, next time I go to the manufacture. I took some pictures of the steel bracelet, too, but lost them... [nt]

I had a similar experience. In fact my watch fell off my wrist. Luckily it fell onto my bed [nt]

Is it possible to post a video here?

I did I quick video of mine showing how it is done. To release it you press “push here” and you should be able to slide out the spring bar from the top easily. To reattach, you just do the opposite. You slide the spring bar back into place. Once it is in place you need to push the “push here” tab from behind to push it back to the original place. It is very easy once you have done it once.
