Had mine taken out the day I collected my Deepsea from the AD. Never even been in a swimming pool wearing it so no need to keep the diver extension.
The perfect watch for my lifestyle

Removed mine asap and was the only adjustment needed. Wears much better without.

Yes. I had to try different amount of links on each side and found a sweet spot for me. I tried removing it the other day and felt no different but decided to try again and moved some links around and took off my half link and tada way better on my little wrist.

7.5” wrists and without it installed, even with the slide lock all the way out, it was a little too snug. I added the DE, slid the slide lock most of the way in and it’s just a smidge looser and therefore much more comfortable.

I have the SD43. Ditched the extension while sizing the watch so no idea how it feels with it fitted. My take is, less weight the better.

The fit is much better without the DE IMO. I own the SD43 and owned a Dblue, removed the divers extension on both and never looked back.
