Sinn – On The Fly Extension Link Installation Guide
Tools Required
- The hex key supplied with your Sinn watch (for hex bolts)
- Push-pin or spring-bar tool
- (Optional) Purple Loctite 222 low-strength threadlocker — may help secure the screw, but avoid excess as it can make future removal difficult.
Installation Steps
Remove the clasp from the bracelet
- Use a push-pin or spring-bar tool to depress the spring bar that connects the clasp to the bracelet.
Detach the clasp completely.
Remove the original diver’s extension
- The Sinn diver’s extension is held in place by hex bolts.
- Using your Sinn-supplied hex key, remove the bolts securing it to the bracelet.
Retain the original bolts — they will be used to install your On The Fly link.
Install the Steel Reef On The Fly Extension Link
- Position the extension link where the diver’s extension was removed.
- Using your original Sinn hex bolts, secure it in place with the hex key.
(Optional) Apply a very small drop of Loctite 222 to the bolt threads before tightening.
Reattach the clasp
- With the extension link in the open position, slide the clasp’s connector into the extension link’s folding arms.
- Use the spring-bar tool to depress the spring bar and secure the clasp back onto the bracelet.
About Bracelet Fit
- The OTF replaces the Sinn diver’s extension, which is designed for wetsuit use and not daily micro-adjustment.
- You may need to adjust your bracelet attachment point along the clasp’s micro-adjustment holes to achieve your perfect fit.
