what does the "S" stand for?

I just bought a new sub "m" series and I was looking at the diver extension and underneath the rolex inscription on the diver extension there is an "s". Does anyone know what this stands for? Thanks!

I'm under the impression that

S= Short divers extension
L (Sea-Dweller) = Long divers extension

Makes sense since the extra L is provided to use with thicker wetsuits.

For the different diver extension blades, that is the correct answer (or Small and Large, either one)

I agree.

S - either Short or Standard.
