42mm bracelet

I've seen several variations of the deployant on the 42mm bracelet. Can someone post a photo of the current version? Is it the one with the two "balls" on each side of the deployant? I've also seen one with just one ball on one side? Also, does the bracelet have micro adjustment or half links? From the photos I've seen it looks like it has neither?

No adjustment of any kind. You can buy an extra 1 1/2 link if needed.

The version with the "two balls" on the closure is the older or original version.

The newer version has "pushers" that release the clasp.

The internals or guts of the closure is beefed up as well.

Personally I really like the upgrade - I don't have any images...sorry

Pulled the trigger on the older version... hope I like the fitment and I hope that it fits my wrist without the need for the 1.5 link. I actually prefer the balls since the new one looks like it would dig into my skin.

I never had any problems with my original ROO bracelet, but be aware – the clasp is super stiff on arrival (it really chewed up my fingertips); don't worry, though, it'll break in over time and become easier to open.

Comfort-wise, it was well-balanced on the wrist and a perfect foil to my stainless steel Diver, though I did wind up needing the one-and-a-half link to get a proper fit.

Regards,
Adam

To unlock the clasp you press the two balls? Or how does it work? Just wondering before I receive it... Hope I don't need that 1.5 link... It is $215!!!
