“S” on Diver’s Extension

Does the “S” stand for Small. For reference, I was adjusting the clasp on my 5-digit Sub and noticed the reference for the first time.



This is different than the clasp code, which is E0 (2007) instead of “S” for service.

Picture below is one I found on internet to depict what I am talking about.

It stands for Short.

There are two extensions, Short and Long. The Long one used to come with the Sea Dweller, along with an extra black screw and the famous SD Screwdriver to be able to change them when needed.

I thought the “S” on the extension is for service bracelets.
But I suppose that is wrong after seeing @Tools post.

Believe “S” on the clasp (as opposed to the diver’s extension) indicates a service bracelet.
