Here is some old pics of those clasps. FlipLock is the long one that have a diver extension link inside. The OysterLock
is the short one without the diver extension. You can see the FlipLock have two rows of holes at the side, one for
the adjustment pin and one for the diver extension pin.







I hope it helps.

Clear explanation with pics, thanks Jocke! So can I say this one is Oysterlock?

It is a jubilee bracelet, not an oyster bracelet... So I'd say no...?!?

I have a clasp like the photo on post on jubilee, on a ss oyster bracelet, on 1655 explorer 2.
p.s. I am not wild about the clasp having the same marks as links....I prefer the plain, non-lined clasp.
