New GMT clasp

Leopardprey referenced a summer extension on the clasp of the newer GMT watches. Can anyone explain to me how this works and/or provide a picture? Is it similar to how the diver's extension works on the Sub and SD? Thanks for any information.

I saw where he referenced that in my thread, but just assumed it was some sort of "slight" adjustment for when we guys "swell-up" in the summer.

A pic would be nice.

There is one link in the clasp you can flip in and out, it make the bracelet a 1/2 link bigger or smaller. Very easy to use and a great feature for when you wrist swells up in the summer heat or sport, and then wrist shrinks when back in Air condition environment.

Only better adjustment on a bracelet I have seen, is Glashuette Original Sport Evolution diver which allows you to adjust the bracelet in micro adjustments while still wearing!

Thanks Chad. I wear mine a little snug (just feels more secure) but I can see where this would be nice. It is so hot this time of year where I live and I'm constantly going in and out of the heat throughout the day. I can tell a difference in the tightness of the watch when doing so.
