I also had clasp failure on the SMP.


The SMP is a good watch but its no Rolex !!

I've had a clasp failure on the Sub Oyster bracelet. I was putting on a rucksack and the strap snagged slightly on my Sub and the bracelet just opened up - fliplock and all.

It was only by luck and Spiderman-style reflexes that I caught it before it hit the tarmac.

So: they are not perfect. It shouldn't have happened. The clasp is not otherwise 'loose' and the watch is a 2005 model.
