I can't believe what I just found out!
Here I am sitting on the sofa, as every night, playing with my s/s daytona on my wrist, feeling how smooth it is, and loving it.
Then I placed my fingernail under the buckle, pulled it, and "WOW" the extention "POPS" out!!! Now previously I would take my watch off during Hotter Days, and extend the extra link under the buckle. Here I am, having a daytona 6 years or so, and find out, that all I need to do, is pull up the buckle with my fingernail! You never stop learning!

That's a new one on me. I would rather have that than the diver's extension on my SD.

Good trick. I'll have to try it with my DJ.
There's a lot of people who don't even know about the extension link at all, so at least you had that covered........... |
