Stainless Steel Deployment Clasp Silver/Gold/Black/Rose Gold Watch Band Buckle Color&Width (14mm,16mm,18mm,20mm,22mm)

I bought this for a Longines watch with an alligator leather strap. It was a pain to take on and off, and the strap was wearing where you would have to bend it. This thing was really easy to put on and now makes taking the watch off and putting it back on a snap.

EDITED ... See BelowI collect watches and, like most people who collect anything, I have way too many of them.On nice watches, you tend to find, or use, nice straps ... which can be expensive. Personally, I like stingray straps a lot, and have them on half my sport watches, the other half have bracelets. Bending straps back and forth buckling them wears the strap out. You can avoid that by using deployment clasps.I needed a new deployment clasp for a new stingray strap I was putting on a new PVD Black/Gold Seiko Solar dive watch I recently acquired. I ordered one from my usual supplier in gold, and I ordered this one in gold as well as PVD Black. These cost about a fourth what I pay for the others, and these come with a tool and pins that my much more expensive ones do not. The quality seems identical, so I used this one ... I wanted to see how this holds up.The gold finish may wash off the first time I shower with it ... but it looks every bit as good. The mechanism may self destruct right away ... but it looks every bit as good and feels like the mechanism is the same.If it turns out to be disappointing, I'll amend this review but I am very favorably impressed. Side by side, I do not think anyone would have a clue which was the much more expensive.EDITED ... Now that I have bought a dozen or so, and used these, in stainless, gold, rose gold and PVD, long enough to offer an evaluation, I'm more impressed than I was initially. I'll never spend several times as much for a deployment clasp again. These are AT LEAST as good.

Gets the job done and the clasp looks good on hand. There are better ones in the market but this one is a good middle ground

First impression of this deployment clasp was its solid weight and build compared to others like it. Easily assembled with the included spring bars and tool, it perfectly matches a polished watch case and looks fantastic on a leather strap. Also feels comfortable on wrist. Couldn’t be happier with this purchase!

I bought this deployant clasp for my Tudor Black Bay Chrono when I replaced the bracelet for a Rubberb strap. I didn’t want to use a standard buckle for the rubber strap to prevent unnecessary wear on the rubber.The 18mm butterfly clasp worked okay, but due to the length of the strap it didn’t wear on the bottom of my wrist. It sat half way below the center of my wrist. It held my watch secure, but became a little uncomfortable after wearing it all day.I ended up purchasing a “Tudor” deployant buckle on Etsy for $35 that wears much better and looks like the Tudor OEM buckle for a fraction of the price.As an aside, the Rubberb strap is awesome and you should check them out.

I recently purchased this deployment clasp for my watch, and I couldn't be happier with my decision. The quality of the clasp is outstanding, crafted from durable materials that feel both sturdy and luxurious. It has significantly improved the overall comfort and security of my watch, making it much easier to put on and take off. The sleek design seamlessly integrates with the watch, enhancing its aesthetic appeal. Installation was straightforward, and the clasp functions flawlessly. This purchase has truly elevated my watch-wearing experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking to upgrade their watch clasp!

Piece of garbage. Clasp easily pops open, particularly when wearing long sleeves, jackets, etc. Don't let the fancy machine markings fool you in the pics, this is the same sort of junky deployment clasp found on lots of cheap straps being sold on Amazon. At best it's really annoying, I would never think of using this with any watch of value. I will be retuning this.

Nice rose gold tone butterfly clasp.
