Thank you everybody, I appreciate your replies.

The tip for is about the twin trigger deployant clasp.

Through normal use the catch will get loose and fail to hold a snap close, the remedy is to ever so lightly tug the corresponding trigger to reengage.
The 3 o'clock trigger corresponds to the 6 o'clock side strap, while the opposite trigger release/locks the 12 o'clock side strap.

The mechanism is finely tuned, the slightest movement of 1/10 of a mm is enough to do the trick, hence the loosening in time during normal wear.

Firstly Congrats for the 5167! Such a sweet watch and you are so right about not doing the watch justice thru photos. Watch looks so much nicer IRL. It's funny about HK, it is also the only place I've bump into ppl who wears PP and they might just be sitting right next to you on the ferry or sharing the booth with you in the jockey club. In NA I've only met one person who I did not know that was wearing a PP.
