Working with titanium?

I just received a new Blancpain FF titanium, full metal bracelet. I absolutely dig the watch, but oh my damn, the clasp triggers are so edgy it feels like someone is lightly scraping a finger nail across the underside of my wrist. It is truly maddening. I have asked my SA to check if this how they all are or just my example. As a bail out option I am considering taking the bracelet to a local jeweler to see if the can round the edges down. How possible is this notion?

My gut tells me not super possible and my SA isn’t really going have a great answer. I can probably send the watch back, but really want to exhaust all options before I do that. I do really like all other aspects of this watch.

So, I sent the watch back to my AD, the SA could not feel what I was trying to describe so the sent it back. A light touch with some Hobby Lobby files, an ultra fine fish hook sharpener and a couple of strokes with the golf tee and I am good to go. Took the edge that I could feel right off. Maybe 15-20 mins max.
