Sub Bracelet Question

[FW9821]

While cleaning my non-date Sub the band exteneded. By extended I mean the part of the clasp that extends for a wet suit opened up. I pushed it back into place to restore the band to it's fitted size. Now I notice I can extend it with a simple tug. Is this normal?

The link with that engraved circle is the third one from the clasp. When you push that circle against the clasp, you'll notice that the joint between the first and second links sticks out. Keeping the circle pressed down, press down on that joint as well, and you should feel a click, and it's then locked in place.

Thank you for your response. There is no engraved circle. The bracelet is reference # 93150 which is a non sel. If I recall correctly the bracelet you are referring to is used on either the Sub-Date or the Seadweller or maybe both.

Yes its normal for your non-sel bracelet to open with a good tug compared to the sel bracelet. Just make sure when you close it up, that it clicks in its closed position inside the clasp.

You're absolutely right, my friend. Yours will have 2 flat links and these will fold over each other. Yes, they will come apart to form the diver's extension with a simple tug.

Well said, my answer would have sounded more like: you gotta put that hook thingy over the other thingy then push and it will stick. yeah.

He won't have that little 'o'. His is a non-SEL bracelet with two flat links at the end which fold over each other within the confines of the clasp.

The no-date Submariner doesn't have the circle mark.
(oops, spoke too soon. This has already been said.)
