Hi,

The clasp does not seem to hold that well on my Sub. Sometimes when I release the small safety clasp, the large clasp has already released. I will take it in this week, but I would assume it is just an adjustment where the clasp should snap down. Does anyone know if this is an easy service for the dealer?

Thanks

Easy to DIY. Just bend one of the long blades. Best watch a YouTube first if unsure.

I had the same issue on my Sub with the 93150. I tried bending the blade's but never got it right. Went to the AD for the adjustment but they recommended a new clasp. Problem solved!

Bend the blade on the left just slightly.

Using both hands, put your fingers on the outside curve, and your thumbs in the middle of the inside curve, then pull slightly to increase the curve.

This will effectively shorten it and push the other blade more towards the clasp catch.

Super common, tools has the right suggestion on fixing it. It is a bit shocking how cheap those bracelets can feel, but they are so comfortable. You never hear about one just completely falling apart.

Thanks all.

I chickened out on a DIY and took it to the AD down the street. They adjusted it for free and now both clasps make a good click when they are engaged.
