I have the ladies parsifal (9988 A647707). The spring bar (?) broke off and the band needs to be connected to the deployant buckle. Where can I get this ultra thin spring bar?

there is SHOULDER SPRING BAR , look at bottom side of your watch , there is shoulder spring bar just as normal watch.

you need to squeeze to take off watch band.


hard to get strap for this watch, its is Discontinued.

what you need is a new spring bar. Its a very simple fix that can be done by a watch repair place. should cost no more than 10 dollars.
Basically a spring bar holds the band links to the watch. Its a common issue sometimes caused by wearing your watch to tightly.
Simple fix , anyone can do with proper tools and spring bar.

mcdevito75 here, Hi Mandy, a special Spring bar remover / installer tool is needed then the spring bar itself, the spring bar holds the band onto the watch, best bet, return to the jeweler for repair.

1. Remove the deployant clasp from the watchband. The clasp is attached using spring bars on each end of the clasp. The method of spring bar removal varies but is usually performed by pushing a small pointed tool (one end of a spring bar tool) into a hole at the end of the clasp. While depressing the spring rod, pull the buckle away from the bracelet to detach. Repeat this for both sides of the buckle.
   
2. Step 2 Measure the watchband to determine proper sizing. Use the scissors to cut along the inner grooves to remove needed sections (each section of the rubber will contain a new set of holes for the bracelet spring bars). Cut carefully and conservatively, as this step cannot be undone.
   
3. Step 3 Reattach the buckle to the band after resizing. Reverse Step 1, pushing the spring bar in while sliding the buckle back into place.
   

jQuery('.article ol .image').each(function(i,e){ var $this = jQuery(this); $this.find('img').error(function(){ jQuery(this).remove(); $this.remove(); }); });

mcdevito75 here, Best Bet, you may need a special tool to remove and replace the SPRING BARS (PINS) that hold the band onto the watch, then you may even need new spring Bars, (pins) to re-attach the band to rthe watch. BEST BET, look for a small watch repair shop in your area to change the band.

I will give you the generic answer as I have not actually removed a Cartier buckle. Most buckles use a small bar called a spring bar that goes through the band and "tang". The ends of the bar are like a plunger in that with a small fork like instrument or small screw driver you can collapse the bar and move it out of the clasp. The rest is very obvious. Replacement is the opposite of removal. A fairly simple procedure for most people.

The following proccedure mentioned can be implied for replacing only resin(plastic) strap.

If you have a spare Band, you can replace it with the help of one small four mouth screw driver and one small 1, 2 or 3 no. screw driver which you can get from any electronics/ computer hardware shop.

Band = Strap

You just need to remove the strap with the help of 1, 2 or 3 no. screw driver which ever you find convinent by removing the Spring Bars. After removing the strap put out spring bars from both sides as these may be used for again fixing the band.

If you find difficulty in removing the Band, you just need to unscrew the screws on for side of the watch case and remove the ring and after fixing the strap you can fix the ring again.

The new band can be fixed in the same way as it has been removed. You need to put the spring bar in the hollow space of strap and keeping the buckle side part of starp above the watch i.e 12 position over the space where it has to be fixed, then put one end of the Spring bar on one hole in the watch case and press the spring bar to get inside from other side (hole in the watch case). In the same way you can replace ******** other side.

In case of any difficulty take your watch to nearest Casio Service Centre for assistance or solution of problem.

See if the buckle does have spring loaded pin like the ones that hold the band to the case.
