Which way should the clasp open on bracelet. If I am looking at face like I am reading time clasp opens away from body and I pull it towards me. It feels wrong


It is my Tudor just came back from warranty swrvice

Half the OT wears $30k+ watches, the other asks why wear a watch when your phone tells time. Good luck.

ETA I usually wear a Casio calculator watch.

Not sure exactly what you're asking, but I'm always glad when someone posts a watch thread on the OT. It usually has some good content.

Sent my watch for service and it seems like bracelet was switched around and clasp opens on other side

Clasp lock opens towards you. Clasp should open away

If the clasp has a brand symbol, I.e. Rolex crown, when you rotate your wrist, it should be towards the top, or right side up…

The clasp lock is (should be) on the 6 o'clock side on the Tudor, well unless they do something funny on the LHD, I have never paid attention to it specifically.

You can find posts on the watch forums of nearly every brand complaining about poor service or long service times. Seems to be an industry wide problem. Old watchmakers are retiring and no one wants to take their place.

I thought they might do it differently on the destro but I happen to have on one of my BB41s and put it on my right wrist and the lock on the 6 side still feels right.

The Tudor end links are not as tight as on a modern Rolex but I wouldn't want to do them without spring bar tweezers or pliers. Some swear they have no issue doing even a Rolex with a spring bar tool but for the life of me, I don't know how they do it, especially without scratching up the end links and/or lugs. Some people are just better than me.
