SD4K Bracelet
Hi,
I have read a lot of post there people are saying that they have removed the Diver extension on the bracelet. Is this du to the fact that you have the glide lock set at the outer position resulting in a "longer" clasp? If you have it at the inner settings I guess you don't get much effect?` Sorry - difficult to explain, but I guess I wonder if also I should give this a try. Anyone that havn't removed the extension?

Its simply to achieve a better fit, as two links offer more articulation than the rigid diver extension.
Also, on my DSSD, I found that the extension seemed to pry the clasp open from the rear. |

I don't have a SD4k but I did it with my Deepsea to get the perfect fit.
You could give it a try to see what you think. |

Removed the extension on my DSSD and D Blue - it flexes easier and wears more comfortable.

I removed the diver extension when I removed the stickers. Not needed and perfect fit without it.

Post of the year here^^^^^^ A red scotchbrite pad will take care of those desk dive marks. I removed the extension on my DSSD. It centers the clasp and makes it much more comfy to wear. Here's mine, scratches and all. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Wow... Why do you even bother to purchase a "diving" watch if all your diving is done at the desk top???

What Dave said and also quite a few of us do dive but recreational diving... not 24/7.

I have always achieved a better fit with the extension out. Clasp seemed to be more centered and the watch felt more comfortable on my wrist.

I'm into warm water diving - don't care about an extension, took mine off the day I got it. Wear it on every dive though- computer on right wrist 4000 on left wrist

SD4K Bracelet
Remove the extension, unless your going to depths that compress your diving suit and will need the extra adjustability of the oysterlock clap. If desk diving, dump the extension. I did that with mine and no regrets.

Mine is still on. I've gotten the watch to fit perfectly without removal so I'll be keeping it on
