This is a first for me. I not aware of anyone else having this particular problem on this forum or on TimeZone.

By your description, you seem to properly lock the extension edge under the center pin in the clasp. I'm guessing that either some component got bent out of shape or the clasp was marginally defective fron the start. I had a defective clasp myself, although the problem was not the extension but the springs controlled by the pushbuttons. My watch was very new then and my dealer replaced the clasp at no charge.

I saw a number of ways in which the clasp could be damaged. Being less than confident, I purchased another spare clasp from Omega USA in PA. The cost last October including shipping was a little over $80 USD. An unneeded expense, perhaps, but now I'm covered.

: Hi All,

: I need your advice : While jogging with my SS
: SMP Chrono , I also shadow box. After about
: 2 left jabs, the extension clasp becomes
: unhinged. At first, I didn't notice this
: until removal of the watch later. In the
: extension clasp link, I have tried bending
: the sharp edge that fits under the pin
: separating he extension clasp from the main
: clasp inwards. This seems to tighten the
: extension clasp
: (evidenced by a louder 'click' when securing
: it), but it still becomes undone after a few
: sharp
: jabs or hooks.

: I know the watch is heavy, and this factor
: contributes to the problem. I don't want to
: wear
: another watch to jog as I use the chrono to
: time my rounds, but I have presently
: reverted to wearing my sub.

: Do any of you wear your SMP Chrono for sports,
: and have you experienced the described
: effect of the extension clasp? What should
: be done to resolve this?

: Your responses / views would be much
: appreciated.

: Thank you and regards,
