Jaeger Le Coultre Deployment Clasp HELP

[Chesterling]

Hello Online Friends

Some help please, I have this Jaeger Le Coultre Master Ultra thin moon. Great watch, now after time I bought this strap of Chrono24 because it came with a different style deployment clasp then my watch had and I liked this style better.

Now I'm trying to switch it up and get a new strap a darkbrown mat alligator one with matching stitches. The watchband now has curved springbars and a curved end to the strap where it meets the case. I would order 21 mm straight edge strap with some quick release springbars.

Now I wanted to send some pictures of the clasp to guy who makes my straps to make sure he makes the end to fit in the clasp. Now there is where I start having problems.

Here are some pics of the clasp in quetion





When I try and remove it my sliding my blade between the strap and the clasp part to take out the springbar, nothing much happens. The side of the clasp also has these what I am assuming are springbar holes like you used to see on 5 digit Rolex. So I tried pushing that in to no avail aswell.

How do I take this strap of the clasp or how would they do it in the store? Some help would be appriciated.

Thank you

Perhaps the spring bar is simply stuck? You could also try a bergeron tool on the edge and see if that will movee it

I ordered one, just to try.

What I did try on the other side of the double deployment clasp, the springbar comes out just by pressing into that springbar hole.
