Sub 16610 extended folding clasp

I just bought a 2003 16610ln, and I have been trying this whole week to open the extended folding clasp. But it seems like it stuck and can not be removed at all. I watched some old videos on youtube and it says that I need to push a small circle on the back of the bracelet than it will help the extended clasp to pop out but it did not work. Can anybody help?

That is the correct procedure....the circle won't help unless the bracelet is connected to the clasp, though.

I have done it!!! After 5 broken toothpick it finally removed. I guess the folding clasp is too straight and makes it hooked too tight. Need to bend it a little bit

It did not work at first. Thats why I took it off. Just try to pull it using the pin tool, but i was afraid that the pin tool going to bend and broken. Tried to use a toothpick and I managed to pull it off the hook

I just went through this I will try to help It is pretty Difficult.
You must press on the small circle with your thumb down and push forward pretty hard at the same time and it should release, at least it did for me. Once I figured it out I did it another 15-20 times . Good Luck I hope this helps you.
