Folding clasp Orbis Terrarum: hard to close?!?
I just fetched my Orbis Terrarum today - the version with leather strap. The metal bracelet did not really please me. I have one question regarding the double folding clasp complementing the leather strap: Is it normal that the clasp does not close just by pressing? It is so stiff that I have to press the opening buttons to make the clasp close. 
This is quite uncomfortable and does not seem to be convenient. Do younhave the same problem? Is it normal? Or should the clasp close by pressing? (As every other folding clasp I own)?? To be honest, the clasp overall does not habe the same quality haptics as the watch...
Thx for your answers, Henning!
PS: the also picked up ExoTourbillon LE is perfect though

I've experienced the same..
with similar clasps. However, after initially having to press the buttons to close, it was a able to snap close unaided thereafter. I think it's simply a matter of the metal parts wearing in or in certain conditions requiring some lubrication. cheers fern...
