    What have they done to this Sub bracelet? Confused!!

    My brother purchased this 2003 pre-owned set with B and P from Tokoyo with me earlier this year. He lives in Taiwan and he wanted a watch. This was actually before I got my pre ceramic, so I wasn't up on the bracelet.

    Anyway he's come to visit us and we compared the 2, finding that his divers extension seems to be missing. But I can't understand how it's been fitted inside the clast

    See pics

    Looks like it’s been glued in.

    I thought that last night. But what's the spring bar go through?

    This is a generic (unbranded) Oyster-style bracelet currently fitted to a Kemmner 007. Looks like a similar arrangement, with the grooved link to accomodate a spring bar in the clasp:

    they put springbar instead of screw? as to why I speculate that something happened to original endlink, but it looks bizzare.

    It looks normal to me but I could be missing something.
    There should be a link with a O on it that you press to pop out the links inside the clasp to reveal the dive extension folded underneath. The spring bar inside the clasp belongs to the extension under the links.
    If that's missing it's where the problem may lie.
    Hang on and I'll dig for what I'm on about.

    It looks like my 16610. Press the “O” as Verv said, all will be revealed.

    Have they changed the way the divers extension works from a 1999 watch to a 2003? This could be the confusion between mine and my brothers

    Mine is like this?

    Surely it’s just a normal 93250 clasp with the shaped, solid links that fold in on themselves, replacing the crude plates of the earlier 93150 ?
