Hello All,
To help me make my decision between a GMT Master II with Black Bezel or a Submariner with Black Bezel, which adjustment clasp do you find to the best - Guidelock on the Submariner or GMT Half link adjustment !

locutus49 · 14 October 2015, 01:41 AM

Glidelock. But easy link is nice too.

Psmith · 14 October 2015, 01:42 AM

Glidelock

Lordofrolex · 14 October 2015, 01:47 AM

Glide lock is better but I prefer the GMT watch more

RichM · 14 October 2015, 01:56 AM

Glidelock

eonflux · 14 October 2015, 01:58 AM

Glidelock by far

arguetaoscar · 14 October 2015, 02:02 AM

Glidelock is better in my opinion, wish Rolex would offer this clasp adjustment feature to GMT!

By Clasp GlideLock is definitely favoured over the EasyLink.
But the DSSD version is most engineered of the bunch.

Then again its a weird way to decide on the watch by just the clasp.

Roller07 · 14 October 2015, 02:12 AM

Both are nice but Glidelock is the best.

Glidelock, simply amazing, the perfect fit all the time. Some with narrow wrists have found the clasp a little long though. No issue for me.

johneh · 14 October 2015, 02:16 AM

Looks like I'm in the minority here, but I prefer the Easy Link. Mine is perfect for normal conditions with the EL closed, and when it's hot and humid I can pop it open without even opening the clasp for some extra room. Personally I don't need 10 different positions.

+1, I have also felt that the Easylink clasps have less surface area to get scratched up.

sco · 14 October 2015, 02:36 AM

Glidelock is the best. It has the most flexibility, and is very easy to use.

eltonbalch · 14 October 2015, 02:38 AM

Glide lock without a doubt!

brandrea · 14 October 2015, 02:40 AM

Does anyone know if the DSSD Glidelock can be fitted to a Sub C? Sorry to high jack the thread, but I've always wondered

Yes, I believe you can do that, Brian. I remember a thread about it here.

HL65 · 14 October 2015, 02:43 AM

Glidelock and wish it was on every sports model!

Same here.

Rolextix · 14 October 2015, 03:12 AM

Glidelock, I hardly ever use my easy link.

Bfd70 · 14 October 2015, 03:15 AM

Glidelock provides a superior fit because it is adjustable in smLler increments. The downside of the Glidelock is that the clasp cover is large. This is only problematic when trying to center the clasp on smaller wrists.

Annan · 14 October 2015, 03:23 AM

The Easylink on my GMT is great and after some initial adjustment I was able to get a perfect fit. I did not need a half link....for that matter I'm not sure you can source one for the GMT, rather you would get a Sub half link. I'm intrigued by the Glidelock and think that overall it is the better of the two. Regardless, I would not let the clasp be the deciding factor on choosing a watch. The GMT and the Sub have lots of differences. Decide which one meets your needs better.

tkerrmd · 14 October 2015, 03:24 AM

honestly once I have the watch sized correctly I never touch the glide lock or the easy link so really doesn't matter

sickened1 · 14 October 2015, 03:30 AM

Glidelock for me too. So easy to fine-tune and adjust.

Agreed
Maybe a handful of times in an entire year you may need + or - adjustment.

FTX I · 14 October 2015, 03:30 AM

Glidelock. Perfect Clasp. Hard to convince myself to get a new watch without it.

mschafer · 14 October 2015, 04:01 AM

Glidelock all the way, but the easy link is sufficient for most daily occasions. I can't quickly size it for my wife, which might be leg up as well;-))
And i prefer the GMT, so there, wins all around.

mailman · 14 October 2015, 04:09 AM

Glidelock

CRM114 · 14 October 2015, 04:28 AM

Easy Link. If your watch is fitted correctly in the first place it does it's job perfectly when your wrist swells. It's an unobtrusive, simple fire and forget system. I have no need (or need to pay) for something as over-engineered and over-large as the Glidelock, and honestly don't think about my wrist enough to feel a need for constantly fiddling with a watch clasp in 2mm increments throughout the day. Far too fussy for my taste, and don't like the Thor-wrist amulet feel and look.

AS1 · 14 October 2015, 04:10 AM

Glidelock, and frankly hard to see how the Easylink could be said to be preferable in any circumstance but happy to hear the thinking if anyone believes it is. Both are of course great innovations and make the ownership of modern pieces even better!
