FS: Rare NSA bracelet springs for Heuer bands NOS Swiss parts *PIC*

If you own a classic Heuer with a Swiss watch bracelet by NSA with the type of clasp shown in the photo below, this is a very rare spare part for that band: the small spring inside the clasp. If the band is starting to slide open a bit at the clasp or the spring is a bit sticky, the spring is probably in need of being replaced. 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. You can replace it yourself easily in about 5 minutes with no special tools. The spring is a New Old Stock original part.

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 original Heuer Monaco, Heuer Silverstone and many other rare watches. I also have the spring for the longer standard deployant clasp NSA put on Heuers and many other brands of watches.

Price of the springs is $35 each. Supply is limited.

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 $18.95 via Registered USPS.

PAYMENT: Payments through paypal.com to billmahoney@aol.com are accepted, as well as checks and money orders by mail.

I have many references here. I have many complete NSA Swiss bands for sale in the Watch Bracelets section at www.Squinky.com
