The Dayton clasp has been around how long? Anyone heard of a failure?
Any ideas??

for gold clasp, maybe the weld has a strong bonding?
or since gold is a "softer" metal than SS, if the welded part is just a hair misalign, the gold material would "give" just enough so that the welding would be stressed enough to break?
