Need help with my bracelet
I decided I needed to expand the bracelet of my 16613, and I found that the pin was already in the last possible hole in the clasp. However, when I pulled the end out of the clasp, I saw that it doesn't resemble my 14060 bracelet nor the one in the tutorial by Tools, and I'm not sure what I need to do to expand the bracelet. I thought I would just be able to add a link back in, but I'm not sure what is going on here.
I'm not sure if the diver's extension is somehow on the last link or not. The pin that kept it in the clasp went through the hollow tube two links in, which leaves two links hanging when the clasp is closed. I didn't want to force it, but the silver square (extension?) covering the links didn't pop out easily so as yet I haven't budget it from its current position. As far as the other bits that came with the watch, the small tube is hollow, but the two remaining links are different and I'm not sure how this should be properly assembled. I'm hoping someone can help me figure out how to proceed. Thanks! |

The later Sub Date bracelets have a slightly different extension than the 14060 and incude the J slot link and the link with the circle on it..
From your photo, all the links have been removed from your bracelet that can be removed and you are in the last micro adjustment hole.. To make your bracelet longer you need to install another link between the j-link and the main bracelet half.. Use the one with the circle on it and install the "tube" into the Gold center, then the screwbar goes through that tube to keep the gold from wearing prematurely..
