Thanks for your reply. I am thinking of replacing my clasp with the new Omega Micro-adjusting clasp. But they run in the neighbourhood of $200 though. Yikes! BTW: Does the last link get stuck against the clasp with the gen. clasp in place?

Has anybody resolved the way the last half link gets stuck on the clasp? Any fixes?

How long do you need to soak it? Mine doesn't squeak - yet. Does the oil bath improve the feel/softness as well?

I just brought my new rep LMPO to a watch smith to have the bracelet resized. He has lots of experience with Omegas apparently. According to him, the 2 tells on the LMPO were the casebook and the bracelet. I had the the second hand painted red so the dial wasn't an instant giveaway. I think mainly the clasp was the issue with the bracelet overall. He said the pin in the extension joint was very iffy. But assured me it was fine for regular ware. Also I've noticed the half line connected to the clasp on the underside portion of the bracelet gets hung up often. It's a little to tight and gets stuck against the edge of the clasp. I think I'll ask my watch smith to buff the edge of the Hal-link a touch to fix it possibly. @indywatchguy: how would you compare the CLASPS of the rep and gen? He said the watch was an amazing deal for the price though and was very impressed. He admitted without him being able to hold it in his hands and examine it closely, he would have never been able to tell it was a rep when viewed on my wrist! I'm super happy with the watch. Love it. Hate taking it off
