how to tighten the clasp on my DJ

Hi everyone!
I am new here, and I was wondering how to tighten the clasp on my DJ...its an older one (Don't know the year, etc.), and it pops open really easily...any suggestions?
Thank in advance everyone!

mine is very old too and when i walked out of the place i bought it from it was opening a bit too easily for my liking.... so i just gently bent the inside metal bit of the clasp a tiny bit and it was fine for a few years.... then i did it again

i'll probably get slaughtered by some of the more knowlegable on here so wait for them... but if you get bored of waiting
p.s. i accept no responsibilty if your watch gets ruined trying my caveman style fixing method!

Hi and welcome to TRF. You need to very skilfully and carefully bend the curved blade which is in contact with the clasp.

Place both your thumbs on the blade and then bend gently; do it without creating a kink in the middle. If you're not sure, then take it in to your AD. He'll fix it in a second.

Good luck - JJ
