LordRasta Posted October 25, 2007 Report Posted October 25, 2007 The divers extension keeps popping loose before I can get the watch on. Is there some sort of "rig" for it? I've searched and couldn't find anything.
dluddy Posted October 25, 2007 Report Posted October 25, 2007 Mine does the same thing. If it is the UPO lite, which mine is, the divers extension clasp has a defect in that the tabs that should lock it are not there. I have a genuine clasp I plan to replace mine with.
andreww Posted October 25, 2007 Report Posted October 25, 2007 stick a small screwdriver in the slot of the diver extension and gently pry it apart. You will find that this will quickly stiffen it up.

LordRasta Posted October 25, 2007 Author Report Posted October 25, 2007 There is an excellent tutorial with pics on RWI. I knew I had seen it somewhere but couldn't remember where. http://replica-watch.info/phpBB3/viewtopic...f=6&t=25354
TeeJay Posted October 25, 2007 Report Posted October 25, 2007 Something else that can be done, is when closing the clasp, hold the diver's extension in place with the thumb and middle finger, then use the index finger as a pivot for 'the fold'. Once the clasp is pretty much closed, just slide the thumb up, to apply the pressure to close the main clasp completely. Sure, it's annoying when a diver's extension works itself loose, but, it's not an insurmountable problem. Of course, the other good option is to swap the bracelet for the rubber strap Much more comfortable than the SS bracelet
