Oyster bracelet question Explorer 39mm

[TARDIS]

The previous Oyster bracelet had micro adjustment holes along the clasp, but the new one on my 214270 has a link that can be folded underneath the clasp and no micro adjustment holes along the side of the clasp. On the older bracelets, the micro holes had a springbar and it was easy to remove so the the bracelet could laid flat.

My question is how does one separate the clasp link from the bracelet with this model?

It seems to me there is no way to release the clasp anymore, so I now have just two alternatives:

REMOVE THE WATCH FROM THE OYSTER BRACELET AT THE LUGS USING A BERGEON SPRINGBAR TOOL

REMOVE ONE OF THE LINK SCREWS USING A 1.6mm screwdriver.

Which option the best solution?

If your saying you have a newer gen clasp and are looking for a way to use the micro adjustment....there should be a springbar on the link you named as being "folded under the clasp".....check BOTH sides of that link, theres a slotted opening that shows the shoulders of the springbar.

Not sure where the confusion is....maybe some pics will help.

Here's a Datejust clasp (should be the same setup as an Exp I, I believe) with the easylink closed (top pic), and the other (bottom pic) with it extended.

Once the easylink is EXTENDED.....you can clearly see the springbars showing in the cutout section of link that is immediately adjacent to the clasp.

Thanks Jeff!

My eyesight isn't so good and I didn't spot the slots inside the clasp.


Yup all fixed now and have a perfect fit.


Thanks for your help.
