Is this normal? My deployant clasp

[arolexguy]

I noticed today the closing spring on my newly purchased clasp is loose and rotating in place.

Is this normal? I can’t upload a video but here are some pics, basically I can move the spring around its post freely

Thank you

Yes, the spring "crown" is loose around its axle. Same on mine so I believe it's normal.

I'm interested to learn if this is in fact normal. I know that I'm considering purchasing one of these deployants.

Mine also. I believe movement is necessary for the ears to spring into the hole.

That doesn’t sound quite right. The closing spring on a clasp should usually be secure and not move freely around its post. A loose or rotating spring could affect the clasp’s function over time, especially with regular wear. I’d recommend taking it to your AD or a trusted watchmaker to have it checked out, they’ll be able to assess whether it needs adjustment or replacement to ensure everything stays solid.

It’s by design. It lets the spring self-center, and allows the clasp to work well longer, with less adjustment.
