Can the experts comment on how to get rid of this gap?

That is a genuine clasp. Is the only way to purchase genuine bracelet links from Ofrei below?

Wow I actually have the same issue. I thought it was just my PO but I guess not. I'd love to know how to fix it because it really looks bad.

Guys, thats the way the clasp is engineered (rep or gen, btw importedfob - what you have on your wrist appears to be gen links. You would be replacing the links with the same ones if you buy the Ofrei pieces you are showing). You cant get rid of the gap. You likely have smaller wrists (6" - 6.75"). What you can do is add a half link to your bracelet. It will obviously make the watch a little looser, but it will also let your clasp breath...the watch is sitting against your wrist to tight :)

With the new ceramic PO clasps you likely wouldn't have that problem. The clasps are shorter in length :p

Thanks Om3ga_guy for the explanation. This is actually your old bracelet from your franken. So I assume the clasp links are genuine?

I'd hate to modify this bracelet if I don't have to.

I had this problem on a 21j 300m seamaster. drove me mad. But when i bought the latest and best 42mm planet ocean the clasp fitted beautifully.

I thought it was down to the cheap 21j against the better quality watches.

But if this is a gen bracelet then that cant be so.
