Awesome. I have been doing what you said not to, fiddling with the pliers! Was getting to the point where I was genuinely worried about losing my watch. The best three minutes I have ever spend on UA-cam, now as tight as a drum and such an easy fix! Thank you.

[@vintagerolexcollector6334]

Hi Neill. So pleased it worked for you! Thanks for your kind words. I really must make some more videos.

[@brizisk6443]

I never comment on anything, I saw you video and fixed my Rolex that has been sitting on my dresser for 2 and a half years. You're awesome.

[@vintagerolexcollector6334]

Thanks for kind words. I really must make some more videos... I have been doing this kind of stuff for a long time so do have other information to share.

[@martinbmx7]

This dude has the 1655 explorer 2. You have my respect dude

[@nArrosa-jp6uy]

Great advice! Fixed my watch latch in seconds! I haven't used this watch in months due to the latch problem. So happy!!!! Thank you!

[@mohammedmeah1012]

Just saved me so much money!! Thank you Sir

[@marcusjacobs1153]

I wanted to let you know I needed my Rolex for a wedding this weekend. I called a repair shop and they said it'd be 6-8 weeks and about 900 dollars you saved me time and hundreds of dollars cheers to you !

[@vintagerolexcollector6334]

I presume the 900 dollars was for a service too? Pleased you got your watch 'wearable' for the wedding. Cheers!

[@essray]

FANTASTIC!!! Im on a business trip and my 1675 started opening up without warning. This did the trick in 2 seconds without a tool. Bend a little, test, bend a little, test... done. Thank you!

[@msellah1119]

I almost broke my teeth trying to tighten the ends. It’s surely worth 3 min watch. Thank you

[@gianniskarmp3652]

Thank you so much... after a painful falling my Rolex’s bracelet became unsafe... i fellow your advice and it’s perfect again ...

[@AsTRoHClan]

Wow, best video ever. I was about to do the pliers deal but I got scared to damage my Rolex so I decided to get on UA-cam and see if there was other ways. Thank you good sir! Worked perfectly!

[@stefanf9145]

Excellent. I was just getting a hammer and some pliers. No joke. And was thinking that might go wrong and googled it. Found your video and it worked perfectly! Thank you!!

[@leebrowwski]

THAMKS A MILLION This is what a video should be.

[@nicholasdowell7892]

Thankyou very much. Very clear instructions, it sorted my fastening out in less than 30 seconds.

[@martinreaduk]

Wow brilliant. I've had a loose clasp for years, a quick bend & it's back to new. Thank you!

[@danrhys4697]

you have saved me and undoubtedly loads more people a very hefty bill ❤🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@tyforbes4254]

YOU DESERVE A NOBEL PRIZE!!! thankyou! :)

[@__-bb5he]

Literally saved my watch. Was fearful of losing my watch, would not stay clasped. I put a bit of a bend in the band, as shown and all is good now. Thanks so much.

[@Boondoggle6969]

Good tip for any stamped bracelet. Worked great for my old Heuer

[@acribbis1817]

Just followed your tip and fixed the failing clasp on my Rolex before proceeding with a costly replacement. Thank you so much!

[@bhar2855]

Thank you very much for this easy fix. I was worried I'd have to take mine to a dealer. I did it to mine while I watched this video and it is back to normal. Thank you again!

[@motocross03087]

Excellent video tightened my clasp in 2 minutes. I absolutely would've instinctually gone for the pliers. Thanks for preventing the destruction of my bracelet.

[@BKSmadMax]

Have my first Rolex (oyster datejust 1975) that was from my dad, the clasp recently got broke and I did this and it locks even better than before. Best 3 minutes on UA-cam

[@vintagerolexcollector6334]

Thank you for your kind words!

[@MT-kx2uc]

Lifesaver! Just got my 14060M back from service and it was too tight and no click, just sounds like metal grinding when opening and closing. All sorted now 👍

[@rgama78]

wow, I stopped wearing one of my vintage watches because of a loose clasp. I can't believe that all it took was 2 seconds to fix a bracelet I almost threw in the trash. Thank you so much for this video.

[@Arcottocra]

Thank you very much for this video. I was about to use pliers as you mentioned. But I used your method and my clasp locks perfectly on my Oyster.
Thanks again.

[@davidwalker6918]

Glad I watched this before I went at my Datejust with the pliers. Two minutes and clasp holds perfectly. Thanks 🤩

[@abbawireless9312]

Thanks Bro. Woke up to my Tudor stainless steel bracelet being loose. Glad I didn't touch it with pliers. Took me 2 secs to get it tightened.

[@callumcooper990]

This video saved me lots of money

[@gilesrobinson6381]

I was reaching for the pliers! So glad that I saw this first, cheers :)

[@luckydogx2]

Huge thanks on the fix! Also, on the simple straightforward video.

[@EZ-mp9kn]

Thank you! I was about to to get the pliers and bend the ends in! But it didn’t seem right. I bent it a bit and it worked 🙏🏼 thank youuuu

[@konradvonmarburg7733]

I just got a 16200 and the clasp was very loose. Thank you so much for this video. Just a very slight bending of that one piece really makes a huge difference. THANK YOU!!!!!!

[@vonniescrafts1]

Thank you so much I was just about to send my Ladies Rolex Oyster away to be repaired it now fits like new brilliant thank you 😊

[@MikeyAnalog]

Outstanding advice. Worked like a charm on my vintage datejust oyster bracelet. So much more secure now! Thank you.

[@MarttiSuomivuori]

You need a medal!

[@MrKniferable]

Wow. Great job. I just inherited a Rolex from a family member who said the strap was broken and didn't want to spend the money to fix it. I thought a piece had broken off somewhere. This solved it immediately. Thank you so much. Btw, mine is an Oyster Perpetual Datejust 62523N18 in case anyone has the same and is wondering if this repair does the trick.

[@husseinshaalan2987]

Thank you very much it works keep on😘❤

[@MatteBlack172]

[@ksjdhg]

Great video. It's nice to see some real Rolexes, the cases/lug design of the current ones do nothing for me. I have a 1987 Datejust stainless on a Jubilee bracelet, and I'm looking for a pepsi GMT just like yours.
