Patek 5036 Bracelet Clasp
What is the proper way to open the locking clasp on the bracelet for this watch? I wear it ever day and it is difficult to get underneath the lock the pull it up. I have just been pulling up from underneath the bracelet on the side with the lock and then the other side. Is that the correct way?
