clasp problem

I've had an SMP (2055.80)auto for nearly two months. It runs like a top and is all-around great. However, it appears that the two opposing push buttons on the clasp (old style bracelet)have developed some slack, and it takes very little pushing of the two buttons to release the clasp.
I've purposely looked at other new SMPs at local jewelers just to compare the push button 'springiness' to mine. Mine is not as springy as it should be. The clasp has never unexpectedly released, but I've taken a vernier caliper to the various parts in the mechanism and I estimate that the bars 'overlap' the back of the 'mushroom' by only 0.04 inch. Obvously, I'm afraid of losing the watch, especially while swimming.
QUESTION 1: Has anyone else had this problem?

QUESTION 2: How much should it cost to fix? (The watch is under warrenty, but the cost to send it to the auth. dealer may exceed the cost of having a local auth. dealer do the work.)
