New deep sea. Really like it, and frankly the size does not bother me at all. I don’t notice it anymore when wearing it than my sub. Also really like the tapered bracelet.

Question...The clasp looks like a glidelock clasp, But even when I pull really hard I can’t get it to “unsnap”so that I can slide it to adjust. I don’t want to break the clasp by pulling any harder, especially if it’s not intended to do that. Can someone confirm that it is indeed a glidelock clasp and is meant to snap up and adjust? I attached a picture of the inside of the clasp for reference. I did have my AD remove the dive extension prior to shipping it to me.

It is glide lock but operates different then the ones on the sub. You actually open the center piece on the top (outside) of the buckle. On this watch you can actually adjust it without actually taking it off. It is a beautiful watch.

Sweet. Very simple. Thanks for the heads up on how to adjust it. That’s crazy smart.
