EZ link. One handed.

It’s pretty easy to extend the ez link with one hand and leave the watch on the wrist but can anyone do the same in reverse? I’ve tried a few times but find I have to take the watch off the wrist and use two hands to close it.

I heard some of the deep sea subs can be adjusted without undoing the bracelet, how does that work?

The Deepsea's (116660/126660) Glidelock clasp can be adjusted from the top without opening the bracelet. Whereas the Glidelock clasp/Easylink extension on the Submariners/other models need to be taken off and adjusted from the inside of the clasp.

I could be misunderstanding the question all together also (apologies)

Interesting thanks. I didn’t realise the DS had an engraved case-back too, I thought the MG was the only watch with that. Not sure what to make of an engraved case-back. My MG always looks a bit odd compared to a nice unmarked back.

Yes, just released and replaced the extension link on the wrist. The replacing took a few attempts, but I persevered and succeeded in the end. Probably would get the knack and become easy if you practice. I don't think I will bother!
