I don't think there are folding issues. My watch is currently very loose on my wrist, that is causing the gap. Unfortunately my wrist is an size that is in between removing or adding 1 link. It's either too wide or too tight. I will be "modding" 1 of the links today by grinding out the middle long piece and drilling a new hole for the pin this week. That should make me an link that is half the size of the normal links.
Will post the pictures when done, it won't be pretty but this bracelet is in Gen also known for this issue
