    Oris ratchet clasp

    Last week just as I got home I heard a ping and something hitting the floor, my Oris Aquis started to fall off my wrist. After doing a little crawling on the floor I found one button and a spring, the other button was loose in the clasp.

    I have contacted Oris and they have advised no parts available for a repair and it's not covered under warranty because it's not part of the watch. They suggest a new one or I find a "fix-it" guy to sort it out.

    Seems like clips from the buttons on a chronograph would be whats needed, any suggestions from watch repairers or general fix-it guys?

    Maybe search ebay they might have an identical used Oris strap.

    The replacement buckle is £86.55 inclusive.

    The replacement strap with buckle is £148.10 inclusive.

    Just seems odd that it can't be repaired.

    How important is it that the sliding mechanism still works?

    Sent it off to Duncan and got word that he came up with a fix. Looking forward to getting my Aquis back on the wrist.

    The two studs seen here were worn and and no longer held the buttons in.





    Duncan's fix involved tapping the holes and using old stems.
