Clasp Question

[gslaskin]

I have an issue with my 93150 clasp. First off, I bought this bracelet pre-owned, so it may not be all original.

Here's the issue: When I stow the diver's extension into the clasp it snaps in just fine. But then when I press the rest of the bracelet into the clasp, the "cross bar" interfere's with the flat link that connects the diver's extension to the bracelet. The cross bar pushes up on the link and the diver's extension pops back out of the clasp.

Do I have some mis-matched parts here? What parts do I need to find to remedy this clasp fit issue?

Thanks for any help that you can provide.

It looks normal to me..

The divers extension does not really lock into position on the 93150, and when it is normally stowed, it will hinge and hang from the back of the extension where it folds...

From this photo, that hinge (the left side of the divers extension in your photo) should be snapped into one of the holes though... you have it pushed flat against the back of the clasp..

Here are 2 pictures to show the inside work.
It opens and closes with no problem.

Compared to my K series Sub...it looks like the Divers extension piece is backwards where it connects to the clasp.

X2 Thats the only problem I can see otherwise clasp is fine.

Sorry, but your answers do not really make sense to me since I have had two other 93150 clasps that DID lock into position. Now this one doesn't and I cannot understand why. . . .

Well if you look at your picture the springbar on the divers extension is clearly not in the locating holes.

Not sure where you get your 93150's from, but the only place that the Rolex 91350 divers extension "clicks" into the clasp is at the rivet of the hinge..

That is why there are two sets of 4 holes.. the front set is for the actual bracelet spring-bar to micro-adjust the bracelet, and the back set is for the rivet to "click" into.. I have circled in yellow the holes that your hinge should click into...

There is no other place where the 93150 extension locks into the clasp... it simply hangs free...

Perhaps this video can help explain my issue. Is there something mis-assembled here or is this how this clasp is supposed to be? I swear my other two did not do this.

I understand exactly what you are saying..

We explained how the 93150 works... yours is normal...

The Divers bracelet that locks in place is the 93250 on the Sub Date, a completely different design..

On my 93150 bracelets, the diver's extension clicks into the front holes like Mike mentioned and circled in yellow in his photo. The extension does not click into any other holes toward the other side of the clasp. As Mike noted, I think your band is operating fine.

I watched your video and your band operates like my bands.

Thanks for your help. Still not sure what those circled holes are for, but at least I know that it is working fine. Not sure why the other ones I had worked differently.

Looks just like mine does too... Your all good

You have pushed your divers extension in too far... the holes that I circled are for the rivet heads of the divers extension hinge pin to click into.. Stick your fingernail under the hinge pin and pull it up until it snaps into the holes..

If you really want your extension to fit more snuggly and not fall out, you can squeeze the clasp together at the front a tiny bit for a friction fit of that first bracelet link..

Look at Tools photo again where he made two circles with yellow. Inside the yellow circle is a hole. The diver extension bar in the photo, directly below these two holes circled in yellow, has a pin in it that clips into these two holes. In the photo, the bar is wedged against the bottom of the clasp instead of being in the two holes circled in yellow.

...there is an "indent" that the links can lock into.

...however, when they become used and old, they wear and about the only way they will lock into position is to then "work" that indentation to again be somewhat tight.

...the one pictured is not a transitional buckle.

...this may explain why your other ones did in fact lock into place.

...hope this helps.
