At the risk of...

...writing a first post that will get me labeled as a heathen:

I have one, and only one, gripe with my good old 5513 sub: The bracelet clasp. I love everything about this watch except this one thing. After some use, as you all surely know, it gets a bit flimsy and clanky. For me it's annoying.

Are there any alternatives that are OK? I'm using a NATO strap on it right now and that is just fine, but I kind of prefer the bracelet look on this watch.

I've done a little research but I haven't come up with anything satisfactory.

Anybody got any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

Not sure, but maybe a Daytona clasp?

Or change the bracelet out for one from a GMT or EXP II if you don't need the divers extension.

I, for one, would love it if you posted pics of your watch.

Welcome.
