Loose 78360 clasp

Guys - apologies if this one has come up before but I checked and could not find it. I have a 16750 GMT on a 78360 bracelet that had a new clasp ( non flip lock) fitted to it a few months back. Have recently noticed that the clasp flips open by itself, usually if it has cone into brief contact with something. Was wondering if anyone had any suggestions regarding tightening it up where it engages with the six o clock end of the bracelet? Just did not want to relay on brute force etc. Many thanks

only 3 ways it can be done (properly)

The blades of the clasp are usually the problem. One needs to be straighter and the other needs to be curved more. This is a simple fix, done by hand and feel, no tools required.

Amazingly simple fix - very much appreciated. Equally amazing is the wealth of knowledge on this forum!
