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 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.

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 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. Best, David

What it looks like before you do anything. Push into the “push here” tab. Now the “push here” tab is opened. This is what the back looks like when the “push here” tab is opened. Notice in the middle there is a “pin” sticking out? From the front, take out the strap with the spring bar. To put the strap back on. Reattach the spring bar, sliding it through the slots on both sides. Turn it over to the other side. Push that “pin” in the middle to close the “push here” tab back in place. View from the

This is what you see in the bottom left when you answer to someone or want to post a new topic... Add images to your post Use a previously uploaded picture Add a YouTube video to your post There is another solution... When you are on Youtube, do a right click on the video you are looking at and select " copy the integration code ", then paste it in your answer or new thread. Best, Nicolas

I am not wearing my JLC at the moment, but I will definitely take another crack at this using your images when I get home. Thank you so very much for posting this. I'm also glad I'm not the only one who has struggled with this silly little detail.
