I have been asked many times if I could repair a flip over deployment clasp on a Rolex band.
Until recently, I was not able to make this repair. I just found the needed pin assembly from one of my suppliers to finally solve this problem.
I have shown below some before and after pictures of this clasp and the pin that needs to be replaced. If anyone needs this repair done, please contact me.
I hope this will be of some help to my customers since a new Rolex buckle is quite expensive.
Here’s what a Rolex buckle looks like before a repair:
And here’s what it looks like after a repair:
Altogether, this is what it looks like:

Charley wasn’t sure about the visitor in the back yard, so decided to give him a ‘cold shoulder!’

So forgive me for asking… As a trained or certified watchmaker shouldn’t you be able to make watch parts?

Rolex should be ashamed of itself for charging so much for a replacement deployant buckle. After all it is only a simple pressed stainless steel item. Many other brands offer more substantial machined buckles for what is probably considerably less. It’s surprising that Rolex continues to use the cheap pressed buckle. Omega stopped using that type pf closure decades ago.

Seeing the snow above is what I remember the most about growing up in Kane! Snow, snow & more snow,,,then COLD COLD COLD & windy. I remember walking to school with at least a foot of snow & a windy with my mom telling me it was -50F (with the wind chill) back in late 1959 or early 1960 (winter) The ICE BOX of PA

Charley reminds me of my childhood standard poodle, Snoopy, who barked like crazy at a snowman I’d just made!
