How many of you have removed the fliplock extension link from your SD4000? I have smaller 6.75in wrists and the longer fliplock goes into the bend in my wrist. Wondering if removing the fliplock and replacing it with my extra links would be better?

El Cascarrabias · 3 April 2015, 11:23 AM

You might go to your AD and let him try that for you.

I'm fine with mine the way it is.

Brian Page · 3 April 2015, 11:35 AM

I removed it when I had one - easy to do, just remember to heat it up if the screw is frozen due to Loctite

WAK4 · 3 April 2015, 11:35 AM

You mean the dive extension? Yes I took mine out. Just pay attention to the screws, the one from the extension is slightly smaller

Londonboy · 3 April 2015, 12:15 PM

I did too. It wears better imho without it

ap1 · 3 April 2015, 12:27 PM

Removed, right away

CWIN · 3 April 2015, 12:39 PM

Took mine out.

Lol-x · 3 April 2015, 12:43 PM

Interesting modification, I've not heard of this before.
Sounds like a great way of making the bracelet more comfortable on the wrist.

But only for desk divers Steve.

AS1 · 3 April 2015, 12:50 PM

Yes, I did. Definitely helps with the fit.

Trailblazer · 3 April 2015, 01:23 PM

I'm taking mine off.

Joe.King · 3 April 2015, 01:24 PM

Had mine taken off when I bought the watch.

Scott1907 · 3 April 2015, 01:27 PM

Just took out the fliplock/dive link extension and replaced it with two links, fits much better and the glidelock is more than enough adjustment even if your wearing over a wetsuit.

+1. Did the same with DSSD. I actually prefer to wear the watch under my wetsuit cuff anyway. Pulling back to check the time is fine and it gives me a bit of a cushion should a vicious boat ladder choose to attack. Fit is much better.

DCheeta · 3 April 2015, 01:48 PM

Took it off as soon as I received the watch. Fits brilliantly on my relatively thin wrist.

Absolutely!

godowning · 3 April 2015, 02:41 PM

Took mine off immediately. Did the same with my Deepsea.

andyol1966 · 3 April 2015, 02:43 PM

I also removed mine.

busytimmy · 3 April 2015, 03:28 PM

Seems most folk remove it right away. I would do the same.

Yes, otherwise a bit of the extension would be poking out of the clasp.

kilyung · 3 April 2015, 03:53 PM

Chucked mine immediately

dazzpowder · 3 April 2015, 05:55 PM

Gone

AK-Rolestar · 3 April 2015, 06:00 PM

Took mine off at the AD!

Fernandohk · 3 April 2015, 07:21 PM

first thing to go.

Nahullo · 3 April 2015, 10:58 PM

I asked the AD to do that before I left the store with my 116660. I had heard this was a good idea and allowed the watch to fit a bit better. I've got no complaints...

Ferdelious · 3 April 2015, 11:05 PM

Mine is gone as well, makes the bracelet fit perfect without it.

travisb · 3 April 2015, 11:09 PM

Did it with the Deepsea. Yet to own a SD4K.

Yorky · 4 April 2015, 01:59 AM

Hello. First post here. Picked up my SD4K 2 weeks ago and had the flip lock removed before I left the AD. Looks well engineered, but don't need it and it looks neater without.

Maxy · 4 April 2015, 02:12 AM

Looking at this thread responses, I feel the question should have been, who didn't remove the fliplock from SD4K

swils8610 · 4 April 2015, 03:27 AM

Funny this thread came out. I was just thinking of removing the fliplock on my SD4K. This thread makes it an easy decision!
