15400 clasp pusher problem?

[andrewjoo7]

anyone else notice when the weather gets cold, the pusher of the clasp gets stuck?

or is mine just a defect,, my watch is only 3~4 months old and when I leave it on my table when I sleep and when I wake up because the weather is cold, I have a hard time pressing the pusher of one side of the clasp to unlock the bracelet.

sometimes I have to push is really hard and it isn't buttery like how it used to be.

once I get it to unlock and I go back and forth pushing it and letting go, one of the pushers seems not not move as smoothly.

cant be the weather as how cold can your house possibly get in LA?

Ive never had that issue and its colder here.

I never lock my clasp when I put the watch down so wouldn’t notice. With that said knowing how the clasp is designed I don’t think there is any issue, except maybe that it could do with some cleaning.

There is a hard detent for each side of the bracelet during the snapping/closing motion. To avoid the “snap” I pressed both of unlock pushers buttons to close each bracelet since I find it smoother to put on the watch that way. Hope this makes sense. The boutique where I bought mine just snapped both sides of the bracelet where I prefer to use the buttons for both opening and closing of the bracelet.

I would guess that would need some extreme temperature - not really ideal to sleep in indoors at any rate.

If it’s not working properly and it’s a new watch, worth popping it back to the AD for checking as it will be under warranty.

I noticed a similar thing on mine.. I want to say in the last few weeks there have been many times where I would try to unlock my clasp and seems one side is a bit harder to push in as well. Had to give it a bit more of a push and it made a clicking noise to unlock.. not sure if it’s due to the cold weather but it is something I’ve noticed recently. Mine is a couple months old also fwiw

Drop of oil.

Owned three ROs with that clasp and never had an issue.

Exactly, seems like a lubrication issue

this might actually be the issue I have, every time I lock it, I snap it

this is exactly what I am experiencing... when its at the unlocked stage, try pressing both pushers and see if one side isn't as smooth

what type of oil would I use? but it seems not everyone is having this issue regardless of using oil

[Tomas Eriksson]

No oil, it is not supposed to be lubricated. Oil/lubrication will get dirt to get stuck over time and that will cause unnecessary wear and other problems.

I will use some good synthetic oil.Like a Firearm oil.one drop
and exercise it.if it does not help send it to AP.
