Aftermarket Clasps

Hello fellow enthusiasts! As most of you know, when purchasing a new brand or a microbrand or something that's typically a "value monster", most brands tend to save some money on certain pieces such as bracelets, clasps, and bezel inserts. I have seen plenty of posts for new straps/bracelets, and there are a significant amount of aftermarket bezel suppliers, but I am having trouble finding good quality aftermarket clasps. I don't blame the brands for going "cheap" on some of the clasps, they're offering a pretty decent product for the money, but if I have the money myself to upgrade the clasps, I'd like to. Does anyone have any "Go To" aftermarket clasps they use to replace the cheap ones they get on watches?

Thanks in advance!

I just got some from Aliexpress (HQstrap store). They were just a few dollars so I figured if they were trash I wouldn't be too bothered. They seem perfectly good so far. In fact I just ordered another clasp from them for my g shock. They come with spring bars that I didn't use (I used the bar from the buckle) but not for any reason other than I thought that was a good idea given the price. 

As a more expensive option, I also have an Artem RM style that I use with one of their sail cloth straps on my more expensive watch.
