FS: Rare NSA bracelet parts, 2 styles of springs for the clasps *PIC*

If you own a Swiss watch bracelet by NSA with the type of clasp shown in the photo, this is a very rare spare part for that band: the small spring inside the clasp. This is the part that enables the clasp to "give" a bit, flexing in and out. It is what makes these special NSA bands so comfortable. If your spring is broken or jammed, your bracelet will not stay on tightly. Purchase an original Swiss Made spring that fits inside the latch part of the clasp of the bands made by NSA in the 1960s and 70s. This is a critical spare to have for your rare collection watches in case the spring goes bad on your 40-year-old watch, since substitutes will not work properly.

This is the style of clasp on the the original Heuer Monaco, Heuer Silverstone and many other rare watchess. I also have the spring for the longer standard flip clasp style.

NSA in Switzerland also made bracelets for Breitling Doxa Certina Longines Jaeger-Lecoultre Favre-Leuba Aquastar Zenith Roamer Hamilton Sinn Aquadive Jenny dive watches Eterna Movado Zodiac Fortis Rado Roamer and many other famous brands. I have many of the complete NSA bands for sale, as well as spare links, spare end pieces, complete clasps and pins. I also specialize in the repair of these NSA bracelets as well if you have one that needs to be restored.

Price of the springs is $35 each.

SHIPPING: U.S. buyer pays $2.95 for USPS First Class shipping with tracking or $5.95 for USPS Priority mail with tracking. Canadian buyers pay $3.95 for Air Mail shipping. International buyers from most other major countries, email for shipping costs but for most places I can ship for $4.95 via USPS First Class International at your risk or $13.95 via Registered USPS.

PAYMENT: Cash and credit card payments through paypal.com are accepted, as well as checks, money orders and cash by mail.

I have many references here.
