First Gen Overseas Clasp

Nov 18, 2020,13:22 PM
 

Hello,


Is there a fix for the clasp on the first generation Overseas?  Some days it stays closed but other days it pops open a few times.

Thanks

Love OS by the way. Ted

Thanks. I don’t wear it enough.

I tell friends it is under appreciated. I think I am guilty of not appreciating it enough myself.

VC had the cure

This updated clasp was provided through the NYC boutique back in 2013, after the button mechanism broke. It has worked flawlessly since. Perhaps if you inquire, they may still have stock. ...  

Thanks. That looks great. I will check with them.

It happened to me on other clasps. I played with the " blade " of the clasp, twisting it a bit et voilà. I would recommend you bring the watch to a VC AD, they may fix it quickly, at least I hope so.

Thanks. I will put the clasp through the ultrasonic cleaner and then see if I can manipulate it.

Unfortunately my closest AD doesn’t repair on site and with border closures my options are limited.

Try that, it might work.

In case anyone is curious Vacheron responded to my request.

The part number is VMXF240160. I am assuming this is for the newer style clasp as shown in Tick Talk’s post. Price was quite reasonable.
