Red seadweller 43 bracelet

HI,
I recently picked up my new Sea-dweller 43(126600) from a local AD.I have been enjoying my piece tremendously. However, I notice that the inside clasp where it folds have some use is cutting into the crown and circle which is also inside the bracelet.
is that normal...? I know it ends up being metal to metal but I thought Rolex would have thought this thing through- Does anyone have the same issue?
thanks -first time on the Rolex board.

My clasp shows similar wear though I've removed the divers extension, it makes the bracelet a lot more comfortable to me. Would recommend you do the same unless you have a specific need for it!.

You will find more place where it will wear, even metal to metal. Look at the action of the clasp lock.

Soon you'll have accumulated scratches and wear and you won't care about this. Don't let it compromise your enjoyment of what you got.

Welcome to TRF.
My advice:
Remove the divers extension for sure, makes the bracelet more comfortable.
Wear your watch, don’t worry about the wear on your watch.

Yup. Remove the diver extension.
