GMT Master II Clasp

Has anyone ever, or ever considered brush the inside of the clasp? It keeps sticking to the underside of my wrist. I would think a brushed finish would work better.

Thoughts?

I'm not really sure that a brushed finish would make a noticeable difference, if any at all. Maybe a piece of stick on fabric tape or felt would work? Or a even a simple piece of masking tape?

Brushing wouldn't help that. Like post above, put a sticker on it or some other material.

I've never heard that one. Do you wear it tight ?

I’m like in between the easy link closed and in the open position. Just a little to tight or a little too loose. It’s a little frustrating. The underside of my wrist seems to be sensitive to the clasp.

Maybe I’ll find something to stick on it like others have suggested.

Just keep wearing it. I was the same for a while, then it just disappeared on my wrist. I don’t take mine off and it goes everywhere but the gym.

You could try a small piece of moleskin on it if it’s a problem.

Some are sensitive to 904 steel as well. No idea if your sensitivity to the metal (or not) has anything to do with it sticking.

Can you get a half-link for the bracelet? My 214270 drove me nuts till I installed a half link from the 97200 bracelet. It now fits perfectly with the ratchet in the middle of the 3 dots. Easy link is magic.

What’s moleskin? The rest of the metal doesn’t seem to bother me, just the clasp.

I have a half link. Definitely helps.

I wouldn’t do it and I don’t think it’d make a difference to be honest.

Thanks for the advise, I’ve done nothing and it seems to be getting better each day.
