14060M Permanent Bracelet Link Removed

For that reason it was recommended that I order a new clasp (approx, $450) on which this „experiment“ could be done, keeping the original clasp untouched. Does that make sense to you guys?

The end of the clasp has a link that is attached to it with a rivet through the flip part of the clasp. This link has a screw-bar on it where the bracelet half is attached.

Remove the rivet and you can take off this clasp-link, then re-rivet to the bracelet half directly.

Of course, it does not alter anything "permanently", because the rivet can be taken back out and the original link put back in. Naturally, you need to know how to rivet it back.

No, it does not make any sense to buy a new clasp to practice on.

Thanks Tools for your answer - and sorry for not getting back sooner (I didn‘t receive a notification on my app so I assumed no one replied). Anyway I already ordered a replacement clasp and finally found a store who‘s willing to do the job, should take about a week and I can‘t wait
