Is this normal for a new Royal Oak?
I just purchased this new Royal Oak Dual Time, I am absolutely in love with the watch. And I hope that this will be the first of many AP purchases.One thing that is bugging me about the watch, is the the AP Logo on the clasp sticks out while it's on my wrist, doesn't matter what position my hand is in, it extends out, I want to know if this is normal, or is this a defect?It is still under warranty, so I don't think that will be an issue, but if it's part of the design, I can get used to it, any help would be appreciated.

Everest band and Rolex Clasp repair
Not sure if this is the right place to post this (am sure this OP will get moved if not!). I'm looking to buy an Everest watch strap band for a GMT Master II 16710. I like the black look of the rubber watch strap - feels sporty and a good alternative to the steel bracelet when sports arise, or summer (finally) comes.Question I had was with regards to the clasp which is used for this band. I'm looking to purchase a Rolex Clasp and have found one available in London (UK here) on ebay but this is advertised as broken in the middle according to the salesperson. Apparently the clasp was used for an Explorer before.Here's a link to the ebay page: https://.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rolex-Dep...YAAOSwbHZaWLKL A few questions I had which I was hoping for advice on:1) How easy is it to fix such a clasp? 2) Is it worthwhile purchasing this clasp and trying to get this repaired so I can use with my everest band?Thanks!
