Buckle gap solution?
(Swipe) Anyone have a remedy for not having this gap between the bracelet and the end of the clasp? This bracelet is a strapcode BOR and originally had an even larger gap before switching the clasp to a smaller, Uncle Seiko clasp.
The watch is perfect for me until I look down and see the gap...

It won't ever be fully gone. You could just flip the band so the clasp faces the other way.
There's a tradeoff in where the clasp is positioned. If you have the visible external part centered on the back of the wrist, as opposed to centering the little hinged pieces underneath (the true "flat" spot that should be centered for comfort IMHO), the lip there will be on a flatter portion but the whole clasp will probably not fit as well. Basically experimenting with moving a link from one side to the other may help.

Thanks for the tip! I may try flipping the clasp around.
I'd the only a thing in affordable watches/ bracelets or does it appear on luxury bracelets?
I wouldn't have any firsthand experience but I suspect it's just the nature of the beast in trying to accommodate a full range of wrist sizes with the curve of a single sized clasp.
