I always notice that after a year or two of use the clasp always seems to “break in”, but yet I really wish I could bring it back to that crispness as when I first bought the watch. I know the old trick where you give the inner fold a nice little “bend” with your thumb and fingers however, is there a way to tighten the fliplock?

Now don’t get me wrong, the fliplock has not once come undone on its own but I just don’t feel as comfortable as I once did when the fliplock was nice and crisp. Am I just being paranoid or does anyone else notice this? Is there an easy fix?

Take it in to your AD or any reputed watchmaker. He can fix it in a jiffy!!

My Dad always measures a short time with "two shakes of a lamb's tail" but then again I guess around JJ the lamb's tails are all pulling "extra security duty" and tend to stay put.

Don't get me wrong, I can live with it being a bit "broken in", but I just want to make sure the watch wont fall off my wrist. Am I being too paranoid?

I wouldn't listen to the BKL's advice. He takes his Folexes to reputed watchmakers.

I would only take my Rolex to a reputable watchmaker to have it serviced.

You will be ok; but the dealer option is always a safe bet.
