Omega NTTD Clasp Issue

Hello, I am a huge Omega fan and purchased a brand new NTTD Seamaster after months of looking. I wanted a new one so I could swap to the small size mesh bracelet if needed after trying it on the medium size. I tried it on in store and loved it. After wearing it a few days I noticed that the inner part of the clasp where the band holes catch in the pin clasp constantly opens. This causes the bracelet to slip when I take the watch on and off. The inner clasp hinges in a completely different spot than others I have seen online so that the inner part of the band pushes it up. I have attached a photo for reference. Is this a redesign of the clasp? I wonder if the AD would order me an older design. Could anyone with a NTTD see if their inner clasp hinges on the inner or outer side? Look at my photo and see how the inner clasp is raised. Thanks for any input and advice!

Thanks for the link. My issue is a bit of fit, but the pivot point of the internal clasp must have been redesigned. I circled one I found on Chrono 24 for sale vs my newly purchased one. I am planning on going to the AD tomorrow to see about getting the older design since the watch strap releases every time I put it on or take it off. Not a good design change!

For anyone who is interested, it was an easy fix at the AD. The watchmaker bent the clasp sides a touch to strongly engage the small ball catches on the inner clasp. Works perfectly now and I love it!!
