5015 Fifty Fathoms X71 Clasp question
Hello Everyone, I finally got my watch returned from service with a new Bezel, Set of hands and 3 barrels replaced. I have also added an X71 Bracelet after 13 years of use. The bracelet I bought has the older clasp with a stamped foldover with 2 pins that are suppose to engage on the bracelet when it's closed. I am able to open the clasp without disengaging the foldover. Can someone please share with me if this is by design or if i have a flawed clasp ?
Please see attached video of the clasp.
Here are some shots of the clasp too.
My companion for the past 14 years of my life!
