Clasp not staying closed

[josterman]

I have a GMT Master II that I purchased new in 1995. I've been having problems with the bracelet clasp for a few years – it won't stay securely closed. As a new member I can't post photos so I'll try to describe it:

The large part of the clasp comes together and clicks into itself (or the bracelet?) seemingly fine. The small part of the clasp that swings closed to secure the large part closes...but not securely. At any given moment of the day, the small part is half open. Not completely disengaged, but halfway. I wear my watch snug, and if I increase my wrist radius by bending my wrist to a 90 degree angle, the entire clasp, large and small sections, pops open and the entire watch could slide off my wrist.

I've had it "fixed" while a counter person at an authorized dealer worked with it for five minutes. It seemed to address it temporarily but the problem returned after a few weeks.

Is the correct move to buy a new bracelet? A new clasp? Stop wearing my watch so snug?

Thanks!
