A little help??

[StangCrazy]

I recently picked up a a new, or sold as new, 16613; however, it is way to tight on my wrist.

I counted the links, or so I though, and got the same number, but I can't adjust the new 16613 to fit my wrist.

Take a look at the pictures please.....what am I missing????

Thanks!

Half link

Bingo!

Agree - half link.

Agreed. Can you try adjusting the clasp?

Wow, I clearly need to go have my eyes checked again. Somehow, as I looked at the bands in person, took the pictures, and then posted the pictures I missed that 1/2 link.

Yeesh......

I have the clasp adjusted all the way out, and it's still too tight.

On that note though, my 14060 has an extra little extension of metal, I believe which is used for a wet suit application that the 16613 doesn't seem to have. It looks like it does, but it's hooked into the last link. Should this "unfold" when I can get the missing half link?

The 16613 does have the divers extension, and it's clearly shown in your pics.
It operates a little differently than the 14060 however.

You will see a link with an O on the inner side. You depress at this point, and the extension will release!
It clips together where as the 14060 swings freely.

Perfect! Thanks for the help. Maybe this will free up enough slack to let the watch fit comfortably on my wrist...

Well, that didn't work. I put a good bit of pressure on the watch and it didn't pop loose like it should.

My purchase satisfaction is quickly fading.......

You shouldn't use the extension link open for extra room in everyday wear......
You are going to need an extra full link IMO. This will move the bracelet further into the center of the buckle for added security, plus, still give you room to shift in either direction for minor adjustments when needed!
As for the divers extension. It will open. Are you pressing down on the O link?
You push from the back, forward. Or, put your finger on the O, and push towards the front of the bracelet. The C link below it just rocks/pivots on the extension...

The 93250 bracelet should have 13 1/2 links.. Seems to me that you are missing one..
