Wild Idea

Post by GWFAMI » Thu Jun 06, 2013 6:50 pm

I've been looking for a ratchet clasp for my doxa us divers watch, and apparently others have been looking too. If someone could get ahold of one of the clasps, broken or not, it could be scanned/drawn/cad'ed into a computer then printed out on a metal sintering 3d printer.

Instant part, heck, I'd even pay $$ for it.

Thoughts?

So would taking it apart and copying the pieces actually make a usable expanding clasp? I'd be curious to see if it would work.

I don't see why it wouldn't work. They can do pretty cool stuff now with those
3d printers.

Why stop there. I need a bezel for 300T... It would be great if it can be done...

I'm 99.99999% sure that it would work. Now does anyone have any pictures of the ratcheting part of the band that they can spare?
