Does the Sea Dweller 4K (116600) feature the glide lock clasp same as a modern SubC? TIA

REFZ · 5 September 2015, 01:46 AM

Thank you sir!

Pretty sure this is the next watch for me now that the wife owns my SubC.

SC11 · 5 September 2015, 01:49 AM

Yep same glidelock as the Submariners

However it doesn't have the half link link the Subs it has the divers extension.

Excuse my ignorance, but what is the difference?

LumpHammer · 5 September 2015, 01:52 AM

The divers link is a unit that concertinas or zigzags out in three parts. It's engineering brilliance.

Agree that it's great engineering!

OP, many owners of the SDc on TRF (and probably many who do not use the SDc for diving) remove the divers extension to "perfect" the fit. Not all do this, but many on TRF have said they do (I did, too.) Try it both ways to see which way works better for you. Great choice!

It does - it's no DSSD clasp though - you still need to remove it to adjust it.

Granted it's not as functional as the DSSD version but I have no issues adjustment mine on the wrist (be it with the clasp open)

Also echo the above the 116600 is my favourite SS Rolex

Quite a statement given you own that beautiful white Daytona.

SD4K it is! Now to reach out to DavidSW...

The Daytona is a great watch but from a complete package point of view the 116600 ticks all the boxes.

This is the only change the SD C needs IMO.

I presume this is the DSSD clasp?

BuddaLun · 5 September 2015, 02:47 AM

I just want to make sure I have this understood:

The SD4K has both the glidelock and the divers extension.

Whereas my SubC (13' model) has the glidelock (which I LOVE) and the half link.

Is that accurate? TIA

El Cascarrabias · 5 September 2015, 03:01 AM

That's right.

You're going to really like the SDc.

It will appear a bit smaller than the SubC. For me (but not for a lot of others) the larger lugs take away from the proportions of the SubC.

One of the reasons I'm glad the wifey took the SubC is the lug size issue you mentioned. I am looking forward to the smaller lugs, and the SD4K also has the raised crystal which I love.

Thanks for all the help fellas!

Your gonna love it Buddy!

Etschell · 5 September 2015, 04:02 AM

i think the sd4k is probably the best watch rolex makes in terms of design and functionality.

Gasoil4ever · 5 September 2015, 04:32 AM

Can anyone explain how to operate the divers extension ? I don't get it...

Here's a nice little YouTube video to whet your appetite regarding the SDc: VIDEO

At 3:35 he displays the Glidelock and diver's extension. It'll give you an idea as to how they work. Not a great explanation but might help.

Thanks, finally figured it out !

Good info here. I always thought the SD4K has the same clasp as the DSSD. I love the clasp on my DSSD. So easy to adjust for wrist expansion in hot weather.

LumpHammer · 5 September 2015, 04:56 AM

Seems odd the Deep Sea clasp isn't on the whole range of divers. It's brilliant. If it exsists why not?

Justifying the cost premium and carving out the distinguishing features/capabilities of the DSSD as compared to SD and Sub.

And because they can.

Eh? Cost premium? Distinguishing capabilities?
The R&D is already done as is the tooling. Why not just make more?

I think the glidelock (at least) should be available for ALL rolex professional models, period. It's too good to be restricted to the divers.
