New Sub guild lock clasp

OK so you all know the difference between a flip lock clasp and the new guild lock clasp on the GMT. Baselworld 2010 will see the new Sub guildlock on the SS sub due out. OK a question. Will you fit it on your Old sub???? I have a sub LV. I understand the hollow links but the flip lock??? it does not stand up to the rest of the watch? or does it? what are your thoughts? I think I will order the new clasp when it comes out and fit it to my sub.

The current clasp is perfect as it is. It is not only proven to be durable but also comfortable. The latter could be at risk by changing the clasp. In my opinion I would leave it alone - perfect just the way it is.

Cheers

I would like to know as well, although I'll probably just end up getting the new SS Sub once it is released.

The glidelock fits on a Z Yachtmaster, if that helps.

AD won't sell a replacement clasp w/o returning the original :(

Really? I inquired about an extra link in the past for my Air-king. The answer was $82.00 at that time. But you say for a clasp they would want the old one back. Do you know then if I get a trade in price? What would they do with the old clasp?

Thanks
