Re: faulty band on 253180
In Response To: faulty band on 253180 ()

You may have not closed the diver's extension properly. That can prevent the main clasp from closing properly, and therefore popping open to easily.

With all the questions you keep asking here--which are quite welcome--you REALLY need to start reading the articles on this site more as lots of the answers you are looking for are already posted in the articles here.

When people spend a little more effort checking the site first before asking questions, it can save you time getting to the info you need PLUS saves me a lot of time acting as librarian telling people where to look.

In this case, check the OMEGA TROUBLESHOOTER in the OMEGA ZONE...
