    As i don't have enough privileges to post in WTB, i am looking for a titanium clasp to fit a polaris all titanium bracelet,
    i have a NOS stainless steel 1455/462 clasp that i am willing to swap with a cash difference or sell separately.
    Can anyone help.

    I'm sure you're just trying to make a watch right, as many of us do, but there is a reason that there's a minimum post count required before you can post a WTB. you're skirting the rules of the forums.

    but cat's out of the bag now. good luck.

    My Polaris has a titanium bracelet (pretty certain about this) yet the clasp is SS. This makes me think some were sold this way.

    sorry Oddboy for being cheeky , hope nobody worries too much, i'm trying to add to my posts so i get the privilege.
    Deafboy, you could be right , this is my fourth polaris style and I do like the double deployant clasp, my st st clasp just doesn't look or sit correctly.
    I've also noticed that most of the titanium and Ti/Au models from Germany have the double deployant clasp

    I think you must be referring to the "butterfly" style clasp like I have on mine (slightly helpful pic attached from the web). Unfortunately, it's away at the spa currently so I can't even tell you what (if any) references are on it. In any case, unless you have the same model as me (a TR 378.0885) I wouldn't guarantee it would fit your bracelet as I don't know whether the sizes of Polaris bracelet links are uniform across different models and clasps are interchangeable.

    Maybe @Archer will wander past and let you know whether these clasps are still available. Good luck with the search.

    *edit* Better clasp picture found

    Also you should consider whether changing the clasp will change the effective length of the bracelet when closed. You may need to add or remove full/half links.

    I have compared a Ti double deployant clasp with the st/st slide-fold clasp and they are very similar in the amount of length they take up.
