Gap Between Bond Bracelet and Lugs

I am new to the "Bond" bracelet as I have only owned my Bond GMT for about a month now. This morning I noticed a small gap between the solid end links and the lugs. It is probably less than half a mm but I didn't remember having this on my SMP 300 on a "Speedy" bracelet. For those of you who own or have owned a variation of the Bond watch, is this normal?

It is not really bothersome to me but it just seems that the bracelet should sit more flush with the lugs. My only theory is the very small gap allows for a slight expansion of the bracelet in hot weather.

Thanks for the replies.
