The Breitling Watch Source Forums

I've been wearing my Super Avenger on a calf leather deployant strap but have noticed recently that the strap part (where it bends in the clasp) keeps slipping slightly, so I have to adjust it before putting it on, otherwise it's a bit loose.

I bought the strap in August 2011, is this a sign that maybe I need to replace it?

I have always found the deployant to be pretty stable. It may be that the strap has become compressed where the deployant applies pressure, especially if you wear it tight. Not sure what else it could be.

The only other thing I could potentially suggest is carefully (and I mean CAREFULLY) bending the metal that holds the long end of the strap down very very slightly to increase the pressure on the strap.

PLEASE NOTE - Anything like this is undertaken entirely at your own risk and I take no responsibility for anything that may or may not go wrong......at all....ever!

I have the opposite problem. My wrist changes size slightly over the course of a day or week. That's the nice thing about the deployant -- the ability to fine-tune the strap fit.

I have the same problem with some of my straps. I have done as Driver has suggested and bent the two lugs of metal ever so slightly and it has helped. It has however marked the inside of the straps more, Especially when you make more adjustments as the lugs dig into the strap more and are seen where its adjusted.

I wear all my watches on deployments but if I be honest I find the tang buckles a lot more comfortable.

Maybe they could Provide an Option for you.
