    The springs for adjusting the clasp on my 18K brick bracelet are broken.

    Is it possible to replace the springs? I tried opening the clasp but can't seem to find a clue how to open it.

    Those springs are inserted and ZZZ type
    Vintage Champion braceletes have similar ones
    They are replaceable

    Thanks, do I need to dissasemble the clasp or the spring will go in (with difficulty I guess) with the clasp in that position?

    Any advice where to buy them? Thanks

    Is your brick bracelet the vintage one?

    Seems to be current production
    An AD should repair it

    If yours is the vintage one much easier to replace those springs

    It is a beautiful condition brick bracelet
    Those springs are not ZZZ type
    Are kind of the same in strap bars
    Seem to be long ones
    The thing is that the gold tops are soldered
    The guys at OMEGA should fix it

    There is always a chance to do it yourself
    If you have a tweezer
    Proper tools
    Most importantly, the broken spring to be replaced
    If you get a similar one, protect the clasp with masking tape and try to carefully insert the spring
    The question is how the spring is retained
