Sorry my friend, you're incorrect again.

The clasp on non-sports/professional references is the Oyster clasp (from the Oyster bracelet), not the Oysterlock.

The Oysterlock folding safety clasp is what is found in sports/professional models and it includes what Rolex calls the safety catch, which is what you (and some internet sellers by the looks of it) incorrectly name fliplock.

As per Rolex description in their brochure and user manual, the Fliplock is the 26mm diver extension. I managed to dig out a 2019 user manual from my SD43 showing the Fliplock, although I only have it in Spanish. This section has now been removed from the current user manual as Rolex no longer offers this 26mm diver extension.

My RubberB and other straps are on a tang buckle. It’s a better look, IMO. Though, I do see the appeal. The tang fit is a little off at times.

Mine too. Much easier to deal with and it saves scratches on the clasp. Not that anyone cares about getting their Rolex scratched…

@alphadweller.. well done, it's nice to learn things.

The Fliplock is the correct name for the dive extension links? I stand corrected.

I know, right!?

I’m guilty as charged. I remember when I put a pretty good ding in the lug of my Sub years ago, I was upset. After years of wearing and many more, they don’t bother me.

Was told that Rolex would not allow it. Oh well, I guess I have to save my nickels for an YM42 White Gold.

in 2012 I bought a second clasp for my Sea Dweller Deepsea. The original one was lightly scratched in a specific occasion (in the cavity where the nail can unlock the security clip), the thing did annoy me for some reason so I decided to let someone (who I thought was a polishing expert at the time), and the result was that he did plane the clasp. They sold me the part but I had to leave them the watch from the order until the received the part and mounted in the bracelet.
They obviously did return the original clasp to me.

Sure, no probs man

Well since my Ad wouldn’t sell me the clasp I ordered a rubber strap for my Tag Aqua-racer. I like how it came out, this was my first decent watch and it may see a lot more wrist time now.
