Adjusting sub bracelet

I remember reading instructions on this forum about adjusting the bracelet on the sub. Not changing the links just the dive suit adjustment. Anyone know the link to that part of the forum. thanks

Okay, here goes, do you see the circle ingraved on the back side of one of the links? Place your thumb on "that" link, press lightly and rock your thumb a little until you feel it release. DO NOT PULL THE LINK THINKING IT WILL COME UNDONE, IT WILL NOT! Just slight rocking pressure with your thumb. After it releases, gently pull up, and release the thin metal extra deployment piece, then wear your extended watch! JJ has to do this all the time due to his extra FURRY arm hair. Reverse this process to put back,
or in JJ's case, when he ever waxes his arms!

Do you see the engraved circle on one of the bottom watch links?? How old is the watch? If it is an old Sub, with no circle, then we move to plan B

My pleasure, I'll be here all week, try the meatloaf!

****PLEASE USE THE ROCKING THUMB MOTON TO REVERSE IT BACK.

After you do this once, it's easy.

Okay Dwilzen, just follow these simple steps...

First, press on the 'o' and arrange the bracelet at RIGHT ANGLES to the clasp, then pull gently UP!!



Once the links come free from the clasp, the FLAT "S" link will also come free. You can then carry out micro adjustments by pushing on the small pin and adjusting it according to the holes....



Then push the FLAT "S" link in, press it snug within the confines of the clasp, followed by the TWO links which come after the 'o' link.



And the extension links are thus snugly back in place. See that second link with the NOTCH in the above pic, well that link fits over the pin which slots itself into the notch.

JJ
