New 16610, braclet question

The 16610 arrived today, very nice, the divers extension on my 14060 is easy to click out is there a trick with the 16610 ? I can see the design is different but it seems really tight & I dont want to force it.

Hi,

My SD has a similar clasp. Press down firmly on the circle under the clasp and the extension links will pop open.

Congrats on your new Sub.

Eddie.

Just push firmly on the O on link.

Turn the link 90 degrees

Take the link directly preceding the O link, turn it 90 degrees, then push the turn link towards the clasp cover. viola

Please just push DIRECTLY and quite firmly on the "O". Then the extension link is released.

It is a BIT harder to get it into place again, though:

If you look at the extension link (the massive part of it, not the bent sheet of steel), then you notice a "V" cut in the metal (not the LETTER "V", but a drilling like a "V").

You'd then gently place the "V" cut over the bar that secures the extension link and push down once again.

There you are

REMEMBER guys: I remember this off my head since I have neither a Sub Date nor an SD for the time being.

I just thought of an idea! I'm going to my AD, and practice on his new Sub's in the showcase. I will use the excuse that something doesn't seem right with this extension link, and keep trying others, until I get it right.
