Hi I read in here that you can remove the diver extension from my DSSD and it would make it more comfortable a can you ? and B will it

Yes you can and 100% more comfortable without it. You will find you can get a nicer fit without the divers extension. Very easy to take off. Most people complain that the DSSD is not a comfortable watch. Once you have sized it right it is a lovely piece to wear.

I would (and did).

I like the divers extension and have used it diving in Mexico with my brother.

fskywalker · 27 January 2016, 06:00 AM

If you will not dive with it can indeed remove it, same applies to any other Rolex dive watch. Can easily be installed back, so won't affect resale value.

First thing I took off when I bought my 16600!

ferrissteve11 · 27 January 2016, 06:50 AM

removed mine...made a world of difference !!

strafer_kid · 27 January 2016, 07:11 AM

Definitely makes a difference!

ap1 · 27 January 2016, 07:39 AM

same with lil bro, sdc4000 - off it goes

Horology.life · 27 January 2016, 09:33 AM

Removed mine and makes it so much more comfortable.

Vinyasa · 27 January 2016, 11:58 AM

Just removed it from my SDC4000 earlier today. Very comfortable.

Ryuden · 27 January 2016, 01:29 PM

Wore my Dssd close to a year before I read about removing the diver extension....for that close to a year, it feels fine to me...but after I read about removing the diver extension and actually trying it out myself, it left an effect on my mind and now I am unable to get comfortable if I put the diver extension on...

So it's out.

Ruud Van Driver · 27 January 2016, 01:34 PM

Had my AD take mine out of my DSSD D Blue when I picked the watch up. I've never tried it with the diver's extension in but for such a huge reference, it's unbelievably comfortable with it out.

bdex75 · 27 January 2016, 01:45 PM

Mine was off when I took delivery of my dssd. Made a world of difference in the fitting process.

I would like to remove my diver's extension on my 14060M. But since the terminal folding blade attaches to the buckle with a fixed springbar, it looks like I will need to replace the the last link with one that has its own fixed springbar. Is this correct? Luckily, I have an extra 78360 (GMT) bracelet I can use.
How did everyone else do this?

Juggernaut · 1 May 2017, 03:09 AM

Nevermind, I think I got it. But for other who want to make this adjustment, here are photos of the corresponding attachment links that need to be swapped. I was lucky that I had a "donor" 79360 bracelet. I might also consider swapping the entire clasp since I like the more slimmer profile of the 79360, but then the clasp would also loose one key Submariner visuals...

Ahhhh....thats better....life without a Diver's Extension is just great!
