grejyedi Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 I discovered the Easylink extension by accident when trying to see how to microadjust the bracelet on my 39mm Explorer 1 Rep , and it turns out that many owners of gens are not aware of how to use the feature as it is badly explained. It turns out me my Parnis sterile GMT IIC, although it does not have a proper Rolex bracelet has an Easylink You need to open the Easylink to get to the cutouts for the springbars if you want to micro adjust your bracelet length. The Easylink extension quickly allows you to increase the the length of the bracelet by 5mm (half a link) on warm days to allow for wrist expansion. Most of the currant relaunched range of Rolexes ,with the exception of the Deepsea and Sub C, have the Easylink extension. This includes: 39mm Explorer 1 42 mm Explorer II GMT C Milgauss Datejust II Yachtmaster II Check the Rolex site to see if your model has one. The Sub_C and Deepsea have the Gildelock system. This is my 39mm Explorer 1 rep. The last link on the bracelet on the 12.00 side is the Easylink. It is closed, ie not extended and ie you cannot see the cutout for the microadjustment. (You will see these when it is open.) The link is in fact link a hinge closed back on itself with a catch. To open it you tug the link out a bit and back towards the centre of the bracelet (using both hands as I am taking a photo here) The link is now open. A is the bar for the catch and B the U shape that forms the catch. You have to pull the link back forward over itself, and press it down. The Easylink is now fully open. You have half a link extra length in your bracelet Notice the gaps (A) to get access to the springbars to microadjust the bracelet if you require it into the holes on the side of the claps. . To close the Easylink you have to pull thelink forward to the centre of the clasp and then fold the link back onto itself on the hinge so that the u shape is over the bar of the link Push down with your thumb to lock the U shape onto the bar Voila .
