Tudor pelagos zf clasp advice

[sublym]

Hi guys, just received a zf tudor pelagos and it's a beauty. However I am having problems with a hanging clasp as pictured.

Is this the same for the other owners of this watch?

Td is telling me there is nothing wrong but after 20 reps and a whole bunch of gens I am calling bs

Also please note even when worn it does the same thing. I pulled it all the way down my forearm so it was air tight and it still hang a hang on it

I had / have the same issue with my Tudor pelagos LHD, I squeezed mine in a vice but it needs a bit more, I think they have problems getting these right, it's the only thing that lets mine down.
I'm gonna swap mine with the one from my pelagos black.
Here's a pic of mine in the wrist, you can see that they haven't got the curvature right on the internal fold clasp.

Another pic
You can make that happen tighter by clamping it in a vice so that it doesn't drop as in your pic.

So every single one from the factory is like this?

Others have called these super rep but clearly not based on the clasp?

Sorry, but gen is just similar. My V6F has got this „issue“, too. Shorten your bracelet a bit more or use the spring load mode to avoid this hanger.
It is a super rep but you know when it comes to complicated clasps and bracelets e. g. Glidelock or Tudor Pelagos there is not any rep anywhere near to gen. You have always to do rework and refinish to reach an acceptable result. Which is NOT similar to gen.

Yep gen is just as bad!! It used to annoy me on the gen along with the sharp edges so I sold it!!

Here no problem with the clasp, however I've got the xf factory LHD Pelagos ...

My V6 does this as well; if I wear it tighter than a normal metal band, it closes up some. The sharp edges are an annoyance.

Mine doesn't droop as much...

Hi. I just got my Z Factory Rep and and the same problem of the clasp having a gap on the non buckled 12 side. I looked at the two pieces of hinging steel on the buckle and the two parts did not seem to fit too flush and there was quite a bit of space between the two. I bent the the more narrow piece of the two pieces of hinged steel by hand and them with by pliers (which I covered in plastic tape). The arc was most mis matching nearest to the hinge. This brought the buckle up. Be forewarned this also made the clasp harder to open. After doing it, I had to pry it open with wood popsicle stick! I played around with the arch of the thinner hinge side and found a sweet spot. The clasp no longer drops down and the clasp stays closed firmly, which I like. I could play around and get the clssp to stay less tightly shut and still not droop on the 12 side, but I got it they way I like it. In the picture shown I essentially bent the metal part pointed at by red line from yellow Slope line A to green Slope line B. The final level off adjustment is better shown by the actual piece of metal so use that as a reference than my poorly drawn line B! The next picture shows that the gap is gone. It is the watch being worn on my left hand upside down so I could take a picture of it. Don't worry the gap does not show up like before when the watch is worn correctly. This is my first rep in a long long time. Fun to be back. After this fix I am pretty happy. There is a bit of a mismatch between the clasp 1-3 spot adjustment indicator and the marking on the clasp. It was this way before my fix by the way. Don't think too many will notice. My watch is all well aligned. The date window is well aligned. I do thing the date window on the dial is pushed our far to the right to look correct on the dial which makes for the date to be a bit miscentered on a horizontal basis because the date wheel is what it is in the supplied movement. More noticeable in double digit dates. It is what it is!
