Diving Extension on SS Sub

I am trying to micro adjust my band on my SS Sub and I can't get the Diving Extension to release. Is there a trick to it, I don't know if it has ever been done. When I dive, I wear it under the wetsuit or wear a shorty. Any help, maybe with some pictures would be appreciated.
Thank you very much

That being said...mine deploys too easily. Every time I take off, or get ready to put on, my watch it expands. Is there any way to tighten it up? Thanks.

By the way, speaking of Submariners:

It is strange that the Sub 14060 and even its updated version, the COSC-rated 14060 has still not received the improved diver's link:

It still has the easy fold-out diver's link
It still has holes in the lugs
It still has NON SEL

But it DID receive the inner chapter ring inscription "ROLEXROLEX..."

Strange!

But I do like that Rolex has kept at least SOME of the "old style" Sub characteristics alive

Fold the link 90 degrees and push towards the clasp cover



Take the link next to the Dot, fold 90 degrees. Then push the folded link in towards the clasp cover. Viola, its released.

That was a silly thing of your AD to do. He should know better than to take off the key link that is used to "unlock" the diver's extension links!!

It still unlocks with the regular link, so it's a matter of looks.
