Help - Diver Extension loose on Titanium Seamaster Professional 300

Sorry, I can't tell as much from a photo as you can looking at it directly. If you are implying that it is worn, then no I'm not going to tell you to buy a clasp immediately. If this "clipping" over the tube is what is supposed to hold this closed, is a piss poor design frankly.

But before you get a new clasp, if you can bend this part, you may be able to restore friction by creating more interference between the tube and this slot. Unclear which way to bend it at this time, but my gut tells me you should put more curve in it, so bend it in the direction it is already curved, and see of that helps. This is sort of the same idea as the old flimsy Rolex claps...

I sent TI one back to Omega UK for full service some 6 years ago. It had loose extension too. They did the work. Got watch back. First time I wore the watch the extension snapped exactly at that curved section. My thinking is that they did what was suggested when refurbing. I was extremely annoyed. Returned watch. Got new bracelet clasp FOC, free service for next time, 3 Omega pens, diary, Olympic book, and a profuse apology.

I had the same issue - since the only other alternative seemed to be to buy a new clasp, and I decided to take a set of pliers to solve the problem.

The piece of titanium that has the little catch on the driver's extension has a small curve in it. I removed the pin to release it from the rest of the bracelet and use a large set of pliers just flat on that piece, reducing the curve ever so slightly.

Seems to have worked and it's now not releasing every time I put it on or take it off.

Certainly can't recommend that for anyone with a new watch, but it seemed like I had little to loose.

Soldered, or welded? There's a difference. Based on the HAZ that looks like a weld to me...
