Diver's Extension on 93150 Bracelet

My recently-inherited GMT Master from the 60's came with a 93150 bracelet. In doing a bit of research on Rolex bracelets, it looks like the diver's extension with the notched link is incorporated into some or all 93150's. My bracelet doesn't appear to have a diver's extension, and it surely doesn't have a notched link (well, at least it doesn't now).

So my question is: Did all 93150's come with a diver's extension? If so, does that mean my bracelet is missing one or more pieces?

Thanks.

Looks like it's there to me. You have to unhook the divers extension then pull it down. It's her in there pretty well.

As mentioned, your watch does have a divers extension and it is plainly visible in your photo.. All you have to do is pull it out...

You are incorrect however, no 93150 bracelet ever came with the j-link.. That link and extension is found in the 93250 bracelets..

OK, I see it's there, but maybe it's assembled incorrectly? It doesn't pop out to extend the length of the bracelet.

In that last photo you've just pulled out the wrong part. Re-insert that end with the spring bar and work loose that hinged part. You'll find that it's really just wedged in there - no spring.

OK, nevermind...I see now. The extension is tricky to release. I could only do it with a push pin. I thought it was something you could do without a tool. Thanks for the guidance.

By now you prob figured out that by moving the end with the spring bar to another hole you can mico-adjust the bracelet fit.
