Found a perfect fit for my Deepsea
There have been many posts by Deepsea owners suggesting that removing the diving extension results in a better fit for their wrist.
Today I added a 1/2 link from a 116610 SubC bracelet to the 6 o'clock side of the Deepsea bracelet. The fit is perfect and it makes my DSSD very comfortable to wear. The bracelet is now configured without the diving extension and 6 full links at 12 o'clock and 4 1/2 links at 6 o'clock. I think my Rolex AD can order an extra 1/2 link for me. |

Mine was OK stock, but removal of the diver's extension made a good thing better.

I was good from the get, even with the divers extension on. It's good you found a good fit though, this is one watch that can be torture if not fitted right.

Fair enough; I have 8" wrist but, I can imagine, if it's not a good fit, it's going to be uncomfortable being so hop heavy.

Mine wears so much better with the extension removed, exactly 5 full links a side & a great balance to it that it did not have with the extension and 'full' in on the glidelock

4 1/2 links at 6 o'clock is the perfect fit for the Subc too
