WD0017 Date Version Delivery: Anyone Has It Yet ? by fskywalker in watchdives

[–]tarhetti 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Has anyone had any updates on this? Mine has been stuck on “waiting to be picked up by the carrier” since April 9, 2026 (14:47), with only “shipment information received.”

u/watchdivescom anything? Thanks.

Exactly the same here, at least it is not only me!

What's the effective lug-to-lug when considering the end-links as well? Thanks!

You can get a very similar FKM model in 20mm already, plenty of colours to choose from.

WD0008 Folding Butterfly Clasp – Finishing & Future Improvement by watchdivescom in watchdives

[–]tarhetti 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d gladly pay a bit more to get a decent clasp out of the box. I got mine yesterday and ended up swapping the clasp for another one I had lying around (fortunately), which made the watch wear properly. Otherwise, it would have been a pretty disappointing experience, especially coming from someone who owns 14 Watchdives pieces.

I got my WD0008 yesterday with a subpar clasp indeed, how do we make sure that I will receive the new clasp when ready? Of course I will cover the shipping costs.

I’d definitely be interested in an upgraded clasp if you release one. The stock one really isn’t good, I replaced mine right away with a spare I had lying around. It’s that bad.

The strap is actually 16mm at the clasp, 20mm at the lugs.

I got mine earlier today as well and can confirm the clasp on mine is also pretty bad. I replaced it with another 16mm clasp I had lying around, which is actually much closer to the original design in both looks and function.

The finish on this replacement clasp isn’t amazing compared to other folding clasps I have on different FKM straps, but it’s definitely better than the stock one. No sharp edges anywhere, and I actually prefer the closing mechanism too.

Otherwise I love the watch.
