I bought mine at AD in Bangkok. They said the diver extention can't be taken off as it is a part of clasp.

However, I saw from many people here had it removed.

So, is it safe to have it removed? I'd appreciate your comments.

Yes I have it off, and it's far more comfortable without it.

Yes, I took mine off when I peeled off the stickers, most agree it's more comfortable. It makes no difference to the functionality of the bracelet or clasp, it just means that you don't have the dive extension in place

Why my AD didn't want to remove it?

They are clearly misinformed. I had mine removed by my AD before so much as walking out the door.

I heard the same thing when I picked mine up last summer. Finally had the extension removed a few months ago and it made a gigantic difference. Now it's perfect! 👍

Very easy to remove and yes, I have mine off for comfort reasons too!! I do not know why but the screws are always much tighter on the extension than the links (just an observation)

Have removed mine and it's much more comfortable.

busytimmy · 4 June 2016, 07:09 PM

Yes, and it makes the whole thing a lot more comfortable

I think they just simply didn't know it could be removed.
I had mine removed also and now the clasp and bracelet fit nicely but if you don't have an issue with the extention I'd leave it on.

Yes - very easy to do and it made my SD4K much more wearable.

Cheers,

Yes

Yes it can be removed, I've worn mine both with and without it, and it definitely wears better with it removed. It also depends on where the glide lock is positioned, the divers extension can cause the band to sit awkwardly on your wrist.

Justinmg · 5 June 2016, 01:27 PM

Yep first thing I did.

Kept the diver's extension on for a week and found it quite annoying on my small wrist. After removal the watch was much more comfortable to wear.
