Found an old photo and reposting... My 1LQ clasp isn't as bad, but clearly there are better options. I will still be buying a CF bracelet due to the full 904L, better clasp and my misaligned lug.

Nice 1, I couldn’t post a pic as I sold the watch it bothered me so much. It’s also more noticeable when on the wrist than it is in the picture above.

Can someone tell me if mine has a catfish mouth??

I see I had the same idea as Triplock :D
Above is my gen 116610 with the same "catfish effect" as depicted here earlier

Don't forget that it will look different around your rounded wrist as it will if you pull the bracelet and make it perpendicular to the clasp

don't worry folks, there's other flaws out there but this is no issue

Your right, it does look different around your wrist, it looks worse. It’s hideous.
It may not be an issue to you, but it’s a real bad flaw and clearly a real issue to many.

That's not my main point, my main point is that my gen has your catfish effect, so how is that an issue on a rep?
