If it doesn't meet your expectations, then yes I would seek to have it corrected. However, all three of my Omega's on bracelet have slight gaps and some play in the endpiece. I see this as normal understanding that that the springbar probably will give a little considering the weight of the bracelet. I guess my standards are a less than yours, but to each his own. Let us know if the "repair" corrects the problem.
