Adjusting Easylink Comfort Extension Link (Airking)

Hey all – earlier this month I finally got my first new Rolex. An Airking, love it! Had been in and out of every AD that crossed my path (travel a lot) for over 1.5 years until I recently got lucky at last.

I really like this unique Rolex. Though I find a bit too loose. At first it was too tight, had another AD add a link again, much better, but I could do with a tiny little more ‘snug’.

Have been looking at the Easylink Comfort Extension Link. It’s at it’s smallest now, so I can only make it bigger.
My question is, using tweezers, would it be possible to move that special link to the furthest position? I think that would be perfect and it looks there is room, only worry is that it won’t ‘click’ I think? Difficult to explain. See picture.

All this diagram is showing is how to engage and disengage the EZ-link.

If you look inside the clasp, there are 3 positions that the bracelet end-anchor can be adjusted into. Not sure if tweezers will do the job, but you can probably get a small screwdriver into the spring-bar slot in order to do the job.

Yup, any spring bar tool should do the trick OP.

I recently wanted to do the same adjustment (2mm) on a new DJ41 and was not successful. I got one side in but not the other.
Rather than scratch up the clasp, I took in to my local AD, and he fixed it within 5 minutes.
Many people do these adjustments at home, but sometimes it is easier to get some help.
Good luck!

Either get Bergeon 1.0mm springbar tweezers to do it the right way, or take it to your AD.

And yes, I too have found the adjustments of the easylinks to be a bit on the coarse side. Dayam.

I’m over here looking at my 114060 clasp not seeing these holes. Then I remember this is the glidelock not not easy link

Its sounds like you may have to remove that link again and move the micro adjustment to its furthest out position. Unless you've tried it already.

Sounds a bit like you might be in between sizes. I had this issue with my Explorer 214270. From the AD I ordered a half-link and have never looked back. The fit is now perfect.

I have a Horofix Spring Bar Plier. It works great for this purpose. I did learn the hard way to use a finger to put some downward pressure on the link as you slide it to the next hole position. On my first attempt both ends of the spring bar were freed but one end of the link was slightly raised. As I slid it forward that allowed the spring bar to come flying out! Fortunately I found it. Bottomline......this is an easy process.
