Dive watch band extension ???

[bowtieman427]

Hi, have a Citizen JV0010-08E dive watch (here is a link to the watch)

Review of the Citizen Eco Drive Aqualand JV0010-08E

Need to get a watch band extention ?? Band is not big enough to get on my drysuit. Where can I get one ????
Any ideas ?
DO NOT want to buy a NEW band

Will the Suunto Wrist-Top Computer Watch Extension Strap Kit (X6HR, X6, S6, and T6) work ??????????????? Anyone??

Doesn't Citizen sell their own watch band extension?

But for the price of a watch band extension, you can get a 17" Maratac Zulu strap that beats the heck out of any standard watch band or bracelet.

Just checked out the 17" strap, I have a Waterbourne which only comes out in one size, and with my 7mm it only just fits. Thought great Ill order one or two but as I proceeded to check out noted it said postage to NZ was $0.00, thought thats strange re checked freight options and it advises they do not ship outside of US bummer...

you can order it as a spare at your citizen dealer, mine costed me about $30

I called Citizen and they were not helpful at all. The person I spoke with did not seem the have a clue what I talking about. They kept trying to sell me the original band I already have, would think they would make one. I am sure I am not he only one withthis issue.
I was hoping not to replace my band as I wear the watch everyday too.

CountyComm is just one of many distributors for Maratac bands. Since that Maratac is made in Down Under, I seriously doubt that you Kiwis would have a problem with finding one.

extensions do exist but they are rather expensive.......

I am looking for a cheaper one!

I have a similar problem with my Omega, as the diver's extension in the bracelet will not allow it to fit over my SLT rings. I found the easiest approach was to just leave the band as-is and put it on over the wrist seal, then put whatever glove I'm wearing on over the whole thing. If you're diving dry gloves, of course, that might not work as well.

I know you said you don't want to get a new strap but to me the best option is to get a NATO strap, thats what i've used on all of my watches. Wide range of size in one strap, plus it makes you look more like james bond
