I just got the Pro II bracelet I ordered for my SOSF and the AD installed it for me. I notice that the main clasp doesn't lock very well, and relies heavialy on the latch to stay closed. Also, the latch has a little play in it when it's down. Is this normal, and/or can it be adjusted?

A couple of guys have had problems like that before. Here's an old thread that may help you out.

Thanks br549!!!

I adjusted it per the instructions and now the main clasp is perfect! Though, it didn't seem like they said anything about the safety clasp. Can that be adjusted so tight that it doesn't move when down? I can't do it with my fingers (like the main clasp) and I don['t want to take the pliers to it just yet...

Since its a friction fit, its the same procedure. Just bend it so that its narrower. That said, mine locks very securely, but there is still a very tiny bit of play in it. I never really even noticed it until I just checked it out. I think the small pins on the inside of the latch are a bit smaller than the divots that they go in to, so there will be some play no matter how tight you make it.

Alright, sounds like it's not something to worry about.

I also noticed that the edges of the bracelet, while not sharp, are not necessaraily rounded either. not uncomfortable, just wondering if it's normal. Thanks!
