Please don't get JJ started on the Easy Link...I think he hates it.

I think the easylink is just too big...I think it's about 5 or 6 mm right? That's just too big to be useful. The variance needed for the purpose of the easylink is about 1.5 - 2 mm (the amount of 1 micro-adjustment on a normal clasp).

As it is, if you've got a nice comfortable fit in the cold that gets a little grippy in warm weather, then you unlatch that easylink, the darn thing is just flopping all over your forearm. Maybe other people react more dramatically to heat, but for me, it's useless. Nice idea...but not done right yet.

Works great for my on my 6.25" wrist. My DJ fits well with the easylink engaged when its dry and cool. I unlatch it when its warm and humid since the watch gets tight and it fits perfect. I'm very happy with the easylink on the DJ.

GMT IIC, Daytona, DJ II. Not sure about Milgauss. I agree with SCD. It's too big to be useful for a small adjustment I was able to adjust the links and micro adjustment holes to be comfortable in most weather situations. Sometimes when it's really hot and humid, it gets a bit tight, but still OK.

Its pretty much the updated bracelets

Any of the updated Rolex's starting with the updated Turn-O-Graph (2003) going forward have the EasyLink. Any of the bracelets that have solid rather than hollow links have EasyLink (eg. Milgauss, TOG, DateJusts, GMT-C, Sub-C, etc....

Sub C has the Glide Lock, not the easy link

I agree with JJ and others, it's a pretty useless feature as it is too big. The idea is good though....

I thought the micro adjustment was better. But this is a sweet heart

i LOVE the easy-link, and find it to be really useful. At times its too big an adjustment....but i dont mind it for a bit....especially since i'm living singapore......so hot, soooo humid, it's pretty much on the equator. The weather here seriously swells the wrist when the watch is on soooo tight.

when i am wearing the gmt master 2 and active outside. the easylink will keep your wrist comfortable. your skin can breathe again.

the weather his is perennially humid. good practical innovation. it also reduces bracelet strech

I was in tropical countries recently and the easy link on my GMTIIC worked perfectly well.

Milgauss has Easylink also.

Loved the Easylink until discovering the glidelock system! Much much better system IMO.

The complete list is:

Milgauss
Date
Datejust/TOG
Datejust II
GMT IIc
Daytona
Yachtmaster II

The Sub and DSSD has Glidelock - the way it is deployed on the Sub is very similar to Easylink, but there is more adjustment.

Importantly, the 36mm O.P. and the Airking DO NOT have the Easylink, despite the solid link bracelet and updated clasp

Easylink works great for me on my DJII and previously on the GMTIIc. Boo naysayers LOL
