loose solid end link - explorer

I got a 114270 recently, however there is a small gap between bracelet and watch head. Is this an issue?

Thanks guys. Just thought tolerances would be tighter with solid end links from Rolex.

You need movement in order to attach it. If it were a perfect fit you likely could never get the springbar to seat in the hole.

Yeah, just didn’t know the tolerances. If this amount of a gap is too much.
