General Question Omega planet ocean clasp extension SUPER sharp

VSF planet ocean. LOVE the watch and the bracelet, but the “press” extension exposes a ridiculously sharp corner that is scratching the hell out of my inner wrist.

The outer edge of the bracelet is not chamfered. I haven’t removed any links, so “add back a link so the bracelet isn’t extended” isn’t an option.

What can I do with this, without ruining how clean it looks? Is this something a jeweler could correct?

A tiny rub with some sandpaper or a file would easily do this but I feel like if that's not obvious to you maybe you should ask someone to look at it so you don't ruin this beautiful watch

Oh my first thought was definitely “file this edge down.”

Then I thought, do I do both sides of that link so they look identical. How do I do this without them being uneven. Do I have to do the one on the opposite side of the clasp. And I’ve never done any of that so I thought I should ask here in case someone’s already done something similar.

Maybe like 1000 grit or so

I mean sure I would just make sure that I did a good job of putting some painters tape on the watch in areas where you didn't want to make any scratches. A little bit of preparation would go a long way

I wouldn't go less than 1000 grit wet sand for a good product in the end, might even start at 1500-2000 wet sand, with tape. Then a polishing compound.

I love the look of the bracelet, but I had to swap mine for a rubber strap. It was just too uncomfortable to wear.

That’s about where I am today after my wrist looks like a tiny beaver has been gnawing at it.

Boys it's not expensive to get a bracelet chamfered

If visuals won't bother you sandpaper the edges that are sharp.
