Oh I see, I kind of misunderstood what you've done I thought you removed the LS clasp, but if I'm not seeing it wrong your Saxonia came with a buckle, not a clasp. I agree that a clasp would cause less wear on the strap than a buckle. All my buckle straps died at the holes part where the buckle fits in (sorry if that sounds weird in English, I can't find a better way to explain it).
