Fun seeing the Deepsea next to the 126600 SD43. Would love to find a 126660 at an AD.

Hi all,
Can someone help me with an idea of how far in the 'diver extension' goes in the clasp?
In official images it sticks out but I remember seeing an image here with a comparison of clasp and it was almost covered within the clasp.
A pic would be amazing.
Thanks

it depends on how you adjusted the glidelock.

It’s a beautiful piece. I love the size and fit, I have an 8.5 inch wrist and I feel that size wise it sits pretty well. I also find the date function very useful and the Cyclopes really doesn’t bother me, in fact I quite like it. Wear them in good health chaps

Really appreciate the close up! Thank you
The divers extension can also be removed as I realised?!

Cheers

Just last week I had the divers extension removed because it kept popping open. Because I have quite a large wrist I needed to have to normal links added, but it is so much better without the extension

Last month went to my local ad to pick up my Blancpain being repaired. Asked if they had received any SD43 yet. Salesman said one had come in, but was waiting for the customer to pick it up. On my way home the salesman calls and saids the customer just called and decided not to buy the SD43. Salesman said it was mine if I wanted it. So I went back and purchased it. Never in 1 million years did I think it was gonna be that easy! Absolutely love the watch! Has gained only 3 seconds in the last month. Very happy!!
