Dimples?

I've been looking at pictures of the heavy Oysterlock bracelet and I have noticed some have dimples on the sides and some do not. Anyone have info on the difference?

Thanks.

Not sure what you mean, howitzer?

The Oysterlock comes with the GMTs, Explorers and YMs. Could you be a little more specific about those "dimples"?

Thanks - JJ

That's what I thought, Peter. The locking indentations on the flip-lock?

I think he is....this is a most common confusion. The Oyster FLIPLOCK comes only with the Subs and SD and the name FLIPLOCK is given to this bracelet ONLY because of the diver's extension links.

Many guys confuse the word FLIPLOCK with the SECURE LOCK which comes on the Oysterlock bracelet.

JJ

Secure lock on Oysterlock bracelet...



And FLIPLOCK on Sub or SD bracelet...
