Where can I get an adjustable clasp?
Ever since I acquired my DSSD I have been unable to wear any other watches on a bracelet. Lets face it, during any given day or week, a spicy meal, a 10 degree swing in temperature or a few blocks of walking make your wrist swell up a half an inch or more. Its not unusual for me to expand the DSSD Glidelock 2 or 3 times a day sometimes.
I know I will probably be brandished a sinner for the suggestion! But I'd like to replace the clasp on some of my other watches with something like this. I'm pretty anal about keeping a clasp scratch free and I normally apply clear tape to prevent major scuffs. In some cases I have removed the factory clasp and kept it new in box and used an aftermarket clasp. Just to keep it fresh. There are 10,467 suppliers of deployant and diver style clasps, but I haven't seen any that are adjustable on the fly like the DSSD or Omega Ploprof for example. I'm willing to pay for one. Maybe I need to start my own business selling 22/24/26mm adjustable clasps?

You probably havn't seen anything similar as its probably a Rolex patent. Maybe you should start your own business selling these type of straps.

I AM a mechanical engineer so I guess maybe I could!
I noticed that Omega and Breitling both use something very similar looking on theirs. Not as elegant as the Rolex but it works well. Maybe I need to some up with my own patented idea?
