Hi,

I have read a lot of post there people are saying that they have removed the Diver extension on the bracelet. Is this du to the fact that you have the glide lock set at the outer position resulting in a "longer" clasp? If you have it at the inner settings I guess you don't get much effect?`

Sorry - difficult to explain, but I guess I wonder if also I should give this a try. Anyone that havn't removed the extension?

Its simply to achieve a better fit, as two links offer more articulation than the rigid diver extension.

Also, on my DSSD, I found that the extension seemed to pry the clasp open from the rear.

travisb · 30 October 2014, 08:36 PM

I don't have a SD4k but I did it with my Deepsea to get the perfect fit.
You could give it a try to see what you think.

Varoom · 30 October 2014, 09:00 PM

removed mine on my deepsea too.......much more comfy without it

bentley07 · 30 October 2014, 09:49 PM

Removed the extension on my DSSD and D Blue - it flexes easier and wears more comfortable.

strafer_kid · 1 November 2014, 06:57 AM

More flexible and better fit!

Post of the year here^^^^^^

A red scotchbrite pad will take care of those desk dive marks.

I removed the extension on my DSSD. It centers the clasp and makes it much more comfy to wear. Here's mine, scratches and all.

Kept mine to "always be ready" ;-) - the fit is perfect and who cares about the look? :-)

fishingbear · 1 November 2014, 08:45 PM

I removed the diver extension when I removed the stickers. Not needed and perfect fit without it.

roadie1 · 2 November 2014, 09:17 AM

Removed mine. Much better fit.

HERITAGE82 · 2 November 2014, 09:25 AM

What are you guys putting in its place to secure the springbar in the clasp?

Pics please...

CWIN · 2 November 2014, 09:49 AM

Removed mine because I will never, ever, need it.

snhrph · 2 November 2014, 11:13 AM

Wow... Why do you even bother to purchase a "diving" watch if all your diving is done at the desk top???

Considering most divers don't use dive watches, your point is irrelevant.

Au contraire, my Southern Hemisphere friend... I always wear my watch as a back up to my dive computer, just in case the computer decides to take a break or get a sip of sea water. Which is exactly what happened to me in Cabo San Lucas. And my Rolex has saved the day and two dives.

The question still stands...

What Dave said and also quite a few of us do dive but recreational diving... not 24/7.

I kept the extension and have no plans to remove it. But, I actually use the watch when I dive, so I would guess the makes me a minority among the Submariner owners...

Muzz · 2 November 2014, 12:02 PM

I have always achieved a better fit with the extension out. Clasp seemed to be more centered and the watch felt more comfortable on my wrist.

joejoe1225 · 2 November 2014, 12:10 PM

Removed mine off my SDC - fits much better.

Give it a try. I'm sure you will like it.

Brian Page · 2 November 2014, 12:45 PM

I'm into warm water diving - don't care about an extension, took mine off the day I got it. Wear it on every dive though- computer on right wrist 4000 on left wrist

sheldonsmith · 3 November 2014, 12:11 PM

Remove the extension, unless your going to depths that compress your diving suit and will need the extra adjustability of the oysterlock clap. If desk diving, dump the extension. I did that with mine and no regrets.

BonitaBeast · 3 November 2014, 12:50 PM

Mine is still on. I've gotten the watch to fit perfectly without removal so I'll be keeping it on
