First I´d like to thank Admin for the great video about adding/removing links on a Breitling bracelet - after seeing that I adjusted my new strap myself and saved myself a trip to my AD (not that I mind going there).

Now, how do you go about if you think that the clasp is "too loose"?
Sometimes the small "second clasp" (or whatever it is called) flips up...
Since I see no screwhead on it, how do you tighten it if needed?

There are no screws for this part, it works from the friction of the closing mechanism. The way to solve this is to go to your AD and let them adjust the clasp - they'll probably do that with a pair of pliers of some sort. You could do it yourself but it is likely you'll scratch the clasp. Let the AD do it and make them responsible for any scratches...

That's the key. And make sure they know you are holding them responsible up front.

The small clasp on my Pro II was too loose for my taste and since my AD is 2 1/2 hours away.... I just took a cloth to protect the bracelet clasp and with a VERY gentle squeeze with a pair of plyers...its nice and tight when I snap it shut.

On a smililar subject, I also had to take a nail file to the edges of the bracelet clasp because they were unconfortably sharp feeling.

All is well now... and pretty scuffed up too! :)

I just bought a new Superocean, and that second clasp on mine was also a bit loose. I have a pair of small pliers that have smooth (no serrations) jaws. I just CAREFULLY moved each edge of the clasp inwards a bit, now it's snug.
