Gap between bracelet's link - VSF 116610

Hi all,
few days ago I've received a VSF 116610LN from Trusty.
the watch looks beautiful and the movement run smoothly, but I've noticed something weird at the last fixed-link at 6pm.

Firstly this link looks not as brushed as others, secondly it seems its higher hole looks not as centered as others.

As result, there's a gap between it and the previous (even fixed) link.

Do you think it can be fixed?

thanks

OUR serious problem is that we look for perfection in replicas and become obsessed with seeking it.
VSF makes excellent Submariners, but they are not without imperfections. You've had the watch with a bracelet link with more clearance, someone else the off-centre DW etc.
Enjoy your replica with a light heart, if you are not satisfied sell the watch in the M2M section and start again.

No, it’s not this forum, it’s where they came from.

Sometimes I'm really flabergasted by the inability of this forum to spot the most obvious flaws in watches....

AX3L you're obviously right.

See attached picturs.
There is obviously someone hiding in this gap witch makes it bigger than usual.

Any local watchsmith should be able to remove this foreign object

I see what you mean. But stop nitpicking on something that hardly anyone will notice unless pointed out by you. 95% of people won't even notice you're wearing a Rolex let alone a rep.

I see what you mean. Perhaps they used a different link from another factory?
