Step 1
The first thing to do will be to remove the old clasp so you can replace it and continue wearing your watch. Look at your watch clasp where it attaches to the watch band. On one side of the band you will see either a flat ended pin, or a flathead screw seam in the pin that tells you the clasp is held in place with a screw.
Step 2
When the screw is not coming any further out of the watch band as you turn it, set your screwdriver aside. Use your non-magnetic tweezers to grab the screw and pull it out of the watch. Place it in your parts tray so you can use it later if necessary. Remove the watch band from the holder and let the old clasp fall onto the table.
Step 3
Take the free end of your watch band and measure the space between the lugs where the clasp used to sit with the backward opening jaws of your digital gauge. Order a replacement watch clasp in the correct metal color using your measurement and your observations of the number of channels in the old clasp.
Step 4
When you have your new clasp, be sure to test it with the existing hook attached to the other end of the watch band. Make sure you can still close the clasp so that it holds the hook securely.
Step 5
Insert the old screw or friction pin into the hole in the band to keep the band and clasp lined up as you insert it into your watch band holder to keep it steady. Be sure to insert the pin in the same direction it was before you removed the old clasp.
Finished
Once the screw has been fully tightened and your watch band is securely back together, you can continue wearing your watch again. To learn more about watch band repair, check out the rest of our Learning Center.
