Hello fellow members,
i finally jumped the boat and got myself a GF SOH blue..

​​​​​​Watch looks amazing and has no issue. However when i went on to resize the bracelet to my wrist the clasp doesn't sit flush and close properly.

I included few pics to depict how unnatural it looks.

​​​​​​With full length bracelet the clasp closes normally.

​​​​​​Need your opinions and help to know whether its normal or i should ask Sead to resend me another bracelet.

Thank you all in advance.

Can't really see, but it seem the clasp is mounted wrong.

Always take a photo of the watch with the bracelet open before you start to resize. It will keep you out of trouble.

Pictures are terrible but Wow, there should not be any gap in the side profile of the bracelet unless screws are missing.

Does not look like a GF bracelet, very poor quality from the pictures.

Thanks a lot everyone,

It turned out that one of the screws was not well finished and jammed the link. I removed and refinished it along with equal link from each side and now it all closes fine.

The case and crystal are perfect but i do agree that the bracelet although acceptable wasn't anywhere near perfect. But nothing that cant be fixed with a Dremel.

Well done. Glad you found the problem and could fix it yourself.
