I am sure someone has done this here. I heard about it today but haven't seen a deployment latch on a leather band. I am thinking about putting it on atleast 2 of my regular watches. can someone point me in the right direction to find where I can order one or does it need to be "factory" installed?

I believe Android sales them. I'm not sure about their quality, but I've seen them advertised before. I'm sure you can order them from just about every watch manufacturer.

just have to correct you.......it is not deployment, but it is a deployant clasp.............

Thank you for the correction. I will add that to my watch vocabulary!

I believe that as long as the buckle can be removed (spring pins) you can install a deployant clasp on your leather strap. Just check some of the sites that sell replacement straps. They usually sell clasps, too.

you cant get them here

you can buy just the clasps or you can get leathers with clasps

they are easy to put on a regular strap you just need the correct size

Thanks for the links. I went to those sites and I found a couple more when I did a search but I am still not sure which one to get. I don't want to order something and find out is doesn't fit. One of the watches I want to put a deployant clasp on is the 9813 Lupah. Any help would be appreciated.

you need to know the size at the buckle -then order the same size clasp

most of the lupahs are 24mm or 26mm i think they taper down to 22mm on the 24 and 24 on the 26 at the buckle

if not sure compare the buckle end with a known size bracelet or strap size (like a 40mm pd has 22mm at the lugs)
