I can't get my watch off

[charlie2888]

I bought an AP 15202 this time last year and have worn the watch religiously every day.

I have noticed in the past month or so that where the clasp used to open very easily when I squeezed the two tabs on the side, it is getting increasingly difficult to pull the two bars on the bracelet out where they attach to the clasp. There is a sensation that they are getting stuck. Tonight I almost couldn't get the watch off.

Anybody else had this issue? What am I missing that the Royal Oak veterans can teach me?

How have you been taking care of the watch and what have you been doing in terms of cleaning it? I wore my ceramic perpetual calendar for nearly two years cleaning it religiously and the clasp opens like brand new.

Never had an issue with my 15400, could be grime build-up in the clasp. Take a baby toothbrush and scrub it with soap lightly and it should come off

Watch is getting too clingy... been there.

I experienced the same with my 15400 but only after years of (ab)use, Warm water and some dish soap fixed mine.

Apparently the watch doesn't want to let go of you

Take it back to the boutique or AD and they will fix it there if it is easy, or send it in for free repair if difficult
