To buy only the clasp for SubC/LV?

I'm using my new SubLV as a daily wearer, and I'm just wondering if the clasp gets worn out sooner or later due to too much desk diving. Can I only get only the clasp from RSC and not the whole bracelet? If so, how much would it cost? thanks a lot!

Depends on the part of the world you live in on whether you can buy a clasp without it being part of a trade in at service.

The bracelet alone is around 3,000USD, so the clasp would likely be about half that..

Just cannot see how you could possibly wear out a clasp in normal wear, yes you will get it scratched but thats normal don't worry about it.

You are not going to wear out your clasp. One thing I do to keep down the scratches is use two mouse pads at my terminal. Also a large paper calendar on your desk provides excellent protection, and your coworkers won't look at you funny.

Depends where you are in the world the clasp alone is around £900-1100 and is now exchange only so can't be bought loose.

drop me a PM if you're interested in a spare clasp as I know someone who knows someone...

Years of piano practice and I don't worry about clasp scratches at work. Yes Mrs Hannigan, my wrists are up! Damn your lessons but bless your dearly departed soul.
