Sorry if this is easily found, but I failed thus far.

Is there any way to take the clasp form a Pilot bracelet (Crosswind B13355 from 2001) and use it with a strap (acceldebt, don't kill me :wink: )

Thanks in advance.

I think in theory it would, because it's just attached with pins - although the safety clasp side is screwed in rather than regular pins. The problem that you'll have is finding a strap that has loops at both ends on both pieces of the strap. The deployant straps have them on one side, but not on both.

Exactly. I was also wondering about any potential adjustment issues, since the buckle isn't your conventional deployant-style like you would find on leather.

Thanks for the quick reply BTW.

You'ld have virtually no adjustment - just the micro adjustment elements. The only way that I think you could do it is to use two 'short side' parts of the deployant strap and hope that the fit was close enough to work with just micro adjustment, which I doubt it would - don't forget there would be no overlap.

Of course you could have a strap custom made.

Might have to anyway, since I doubt anyone would sell me two short sides. Good thought though.
