The clasp that came with my Timex GMT 38mm had no micro-adjust. Sometimes you can get lucky by simply removing enough links to for a decent fit. Unfortunately, this bracelet either choked my wrist or it slid right down past my wrist bone on to my hand after removing links. I really like the original bracelet though so I ordered this new 18mm clasp instead of an entire new bracelet.
It now fits perfectly and I couldn't be happier. This clasp has 3 micro-adjust holes which is just enough. Installation is tricky though for beginners so I recommend just searching for guides on YouTube. It took me a few tries to get it right. Also, make sure you have enough spring bars. I almost lost one of mine from the old clasp as once you disengage them, they *boing!* right out of the clasp and can go flying lol.
Also be careful to measure where the bracelet connects to the clasp. If you have a bracelet that tapers, it might go smaller than the bracelet width is listed. Mine was a uniform 18mm though and worked great.
This is a nice upgrade from the original stamped clasp. It levels up the overall quallity of how it looks, feels. the lenth of the clasp is a bit shorter and makes it harder to slide on and off the wrist (7.5), from those that have a larger hand around the knuckles . Hopefully my pic gives my description a better understanding. While it may be very close and seems like it would not make a difference; the almost 1/2 inch does.
TLDR; Easy to install and inexpensive milled clasp that might be too small to for many wrist sizes. Also, finishing could be better. IT'S $10!
Pros:
-Inexpensive
-Easy install.
-Nicely Milled
-Adequate brushed finish
-It costs $10
Cons:
-Far too small for some people (I installed it on a brand new Seiko turtle without taking off any links and I still had to micro adjusted it to the loosest setting to fit my 7 1/2" wrist with a snug fit)
-Brushing detail can be better (but adequate for 10$)
-The clamp is really stiff so there's a bit of force needed to close it (like you're going to break it) but that might also mean it's secure on the wrist. Will update later if that changes.
-The edges could of been buffed better to be less sharp
-The secondary Buckle takes minimal force to unlatch which could be precarious.
-The underside of the metal is dirty/unfinished.
Conclusion: It's 10$. It works as intended. Definitely better than a stamped metal clasp. If you're using this on a watch you've already sized and have a thicker wrist, maybe look somewhere else unless you have the extra links available.
