Divers Extension - 16610

Recently picked up a 16610 Sub. I believe it is missing its divers extension. The last link on the 12 o'clock side is attached to the clap as follows....



Does anyone know which divers extension to buy? An ebay link would be really helpful.

Or, is there another link type i can get?

Thanks

If it helps, it’s a 2008 16610.

Yes, somebody has unscrewed the extension connecting link from the bracelet half and tossed it. Those pieces are hard to find by themselves.

Either a 93150 or a 93250 clasp, complete, will bolt right on.

It is missing it but you’ll never need it. I’ve opened mine up 4 times in 30 years. I recently removed it and put in an aftermarket easily link. Where were you all my life?

Thanks. Do you have a link to that link you purchased? 😂

And if you want to sell the diver extension, drop me a message.

I bought this one but seller is out of stock. eBay has more. I was advised not to buy the cheap $27 one.

This one probably good. This is better than mine that had a polished center link. I didn’t mind the polished link since it’s hidden in the clasp.
Lately other users have found this one below but more expensive. Still cheaper than factory

Divers Extension - 16610

I never considered adding one of these to a five digit Rolex. Great idea! I’m going to order one for my 16700. Thank you for posting.

Edit: Do you think the Wholesaleoutlet990 version will fit a five digit? I see they advertise it for a six digit whereas the slightly more expensive Steelreef version is targeted towards the five digit.

I know someone who tried the eBay ones and was not impressed. If I was to do it I would go Steelref.

I got two 80 dollar eBay ones that are great. That seller no longer has stock. My mistake, I did a quick search and linked a 6 digit easy link. Don’t get the $28 eBay ones. A TRF member also advised me against this. Go for the steel reef one
