Just to update everyone. I was in WOS today and meet their watchmaker who after discussion agreed to remove the diver extension. WOW..problem sorted. Now my extra link acts as the diver extension and furthermore the watch now 'wraps more around the wrist' his words. To anyone thinking about it, I would say do it although I am happy I got Rolex to do it for me and confirmed it wouldn't affect the warranty in any way. Cheekily, I also asked if I could get a cleaning cloth which he didn't have but he took my details and said he would get one sent out!
Just to add lastly re: UK price increase, he said it is happening 'imminently' |

I removed the dive extension out of an SDc I had a while back and must say the bracelet fitted much better without it. Then picked up a SubC a while later and at the time was offered a good opportunity (good price) to also pick up an SDc dive link, so I went for it just to have as option. Strange thing is that when I fitted the link it to my SubC, it wore very nicely without the discomfort I experienced with the SDc.....never quite figured it out!

I too strongly suggest removing the divers extension and putting in one, or possibly two, standard links instead. The extension is a much longer rigid section so doesn't conform to wrist shape so well, and for those of us with smaller wrists it generally wears much more comfortably without the extension. The AD should do it without question - mine did in West London.
Re position of clasp on your wrist, looks like as things stand you need to take a link out of the extension side and put it in the other, which should shift the clasp over over and centralise it. (Just seen your most recent post above - glad its sorted!) |
