Popped out pin, what does that mean?
I've got a problem that the pin on my LVSubmariner clasp keeps poking out the side, its really annoying.
Does anyone know what this means and how can it be fixed???? Thank you

I would go get a new spring bar sized appropriately. Also wouldnt wear it till its fixed correctly so it doesnt potentially fall off your wrist at the wrong time.

It simply needs a new spring-pin or wrong pin is fitted..

This never happened before until I popped the extension link to fit an additional link to the bracelet and repositioned the joining link to the bracelet to a different hole in the clasp.
I'm not going to wear it anymore, but it looks like a job for the Rolex Service Centre....

Thats quite possible but I believe if I remember you bought used, possible pin was changed by previous owner.
