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!

I did mean extending the band without taking the watch off, just placing the finger nail under the buckle, and out it "POPS":

That's what i did exactly thanks for the tip

ROLEX MAN · 20 July 2008, 09:32 PM

I don't think rolex puts this into their instruction manuals!

bardm · 20 July 2008, 09:53 PM

Now: If you could tell me how to get it back in without taking my watch off I would be really impressed

I have tried this all day, and nearly got it, but someone allways has to be a smarta$$!

Ane yet again, I've learned something new about my Rolex. Thanks.

Ed Rooney · 21 July 2008, 11:36 PM

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

worktolivelife · 21 July 2008, 11:44 PM

well there's a little gem of info!

McGary911 · 21 July 2008, 11:49 PM

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...........
