I believe it talks about the bracelet in the watch manual itself!?!?
I'm not 100% sure but others will chime in soon......
Congratulations on the DSSD,a beast that commands respect!!!!
Rob.

Thanks for the info!
By accident, I "unlocked" the extended part of the bracelet from the base.
You know, the extended part..when I try to click it in, it doesnt "lock" in there
I dont know how to better explain it!
Thx

i assume you opened the extension for a dive suit.. it folds back in a little tricky.. no biggy.. there are no real "clicks" it folds nicely and sits in the bracelet.. it will open up every once in a while while donning and doffing the watch.. mine hasnt opened up spontaneously in a few weeks..

Another warm welcome to the DSSD club, I guess these fellows say it all
So what you guys are saying Rolex has designed a tool watch bracelet that tricky to operate and you have to read the manual to use.Its a good job that around 90% of all divers watches bought are never used for what they were intended for.

Some pictures...does this look ok?
Here are some pics of the bracelet closed...
Notice that the clasp blades dont "sit" flat on the Snap fit system and clasp cover nor it "locks" into position..Is this normal?
Comming from being a PO owner, I am not sure....

Mine can look like that too if I pull it out slightly, so seems pretty normal to me although your inner clasp does seem to be sticking out a tad more than mine.................
