Question about Rolex clasp
Hi everyone,
The clasp flap on my Submariner is getting harder and harder to close and open when locking, even though my watch is quite new. Has anyone else experienced this?
Any comments or recommendations will be appreciated.
Best, GWF

That's not normal.
I would first check with a loupe to see if there's anything lodged between the moving parts, such as leftover stickers. If not, maybe some lubrication would help.
I was waiting for this answer đ
That is the best way to solve issue indeed. But with my question I also wanted to know if it was a common thing or not. Thanks kjkt3
I had the exact same issue - if youâre wearing it daily, likely an accumulation of dirt. I took mine to a local watch repair store and he cleaned it up in a couple minutes
Thank you Mustaang! I donât wear this one daily and I can say it is a brand new one. So I donât think it is because of dirt. I will check if some stickers remain on the watch.
Not normal at all
My experience with multiple Rolex clasps over quite a long time is that they stay consistent, open and close with just the right amount of effort (not too loose, not too tight). All modern ones are very solid, so it's not like with vintage stamped parts. Get it fixed.
I once had an issue with a GMT clasp, similar to the Submarinerâs. Also a rather new watch. I was passing by NY City, went up to the Rolex service center and they fixed right there in a minute. Something about spring in the clasp. I
I agree with others opinion that it is abnormal and the best recourse is a visit to your AD
