Diver extension loose
My 16613 divers extension is loose and keeps extending whenever I take off or pick up the watch. Any way to adjust this?

You may need to gently give the edge of the clasp a little push to tighten it up...kind of hard to explain, but it may be that the pins on the extension have worn just enough that they no longer grip the clasp.

Just a light pinch on the inside clasp edges to stop it from extending out..

The only thing holding the extension in on those older models is the rivet heads that snap down into the second set of holes in the clasp (the first set of holes is for the sprinbar, the second set for the extension rivets)
Check to make sure that your extension is aligned with a pair of holes when it goes into the clasp.. If the ends of the rivets have not flattened out, or are not completely gone; then the fix is to slightly squeeze the clasp together where those holes and rivets meet........
