Is there any way to mod the glidelock clasp to stay flush? Seems pretty obvious issue from distance to spot for a Rep.

Glide lock Clasp Droop

Does a Gen Rolex only keep the clasp flat by the shape of the engraved section too? Or is there some other mechanism there? A issue for me is that the last link in the photo is actually the divers extension so it's larger than a link would be so perhaps can't lie as flat. Problem is I can no longer alter the clasp as a screw that holds in the extension is loose and making it impossible to adjust the extension as it's in the glidelock hole.
I have this problem too and I'm curious if there is any solution.
Also the edge of the clasp is razorsharp, what do I use to make it smoother?

I used a polishing cloth on the end and it's a bit smoother, I imagine if you went at it over a few days would help.
I used a Dremel sanding attachment with fine grit sandpaper. Went over at 5K revolutions/min briefly and achieved the results I desired - no more razor sharp edges.
I found this website were the person had same issue with screw slipping into glidelock hole, but he doesn't really explain how he got it out, apart from maybe brute force ><

It seems the E2 pin is the issue but I have no idea how to get it back in

Very interesting website though.

OK fixed the droop, It was as I suspected the divers extension part. I had to butcher the clasp slightly to get it out of the glidelock but its on inside wrist part so you can't see it really. Once I had it out i was able to remove the divers extension and the clasp now sits flush against bracelet, over all well pleased. Will give it a polish tomorrow to clean it up.
