So I'm out with the wife following her around while she shops and realized my new watch (two day old Sub C) was somewhat loose. Then it dawned on me...you have a glidelock clasp dummy...just adjust it!

To preface, I've made a few minor adjustments while sizing the bracelet but this is the first time I've actually experienced the true benefits!

I'm seriously speechless with the brilliance of this design!

I was just telling my wife and she smiled and told me how excited she was (eye roll). So I thought I would share my excitement with a group of friends who would relate!

Thanks TRF!!

So simple yet so effective. Living in a warm climate, I find it very useful.

Be VERY careful. I also shared these news (as well as ease of strap change on my Cartier Roadster)...that is the last day I wore my Roadster.

She loves how 'easy' it is to adjust. Be VERY careful

Yeah, the Glidelock is brilliant, wish they put it on the Daytona..

nauticajoe · 11 March 2014, 09:35 AM

Love the glidelock.

Couldn't do without it

Why don't they put it on all the sports models, such a great, comfy bracelet

It is a long clasp and quite bulky. So on say Milguass, GMT or Daytona , a) it would need to be polished and it may just not sit nicely.
More poignantly, its main function is for it to be easily expanded and contracted for a wet suit... Diving.. submariner

FTX I · 11 March 2014, 09:48 AM

The Sub-C clasp is the best I've ever had.

GarageBMW · 11 March 2014, 10:03 AM

the very best I have had so far. Even thinking in getting a GMT II and swapping bracelet and claps for one of a sub-c, it's that good.

Roller07 · 11 March 2014, 10:06 AM

The glidelock clasp is the best thing since sliced bread. Every SS watch bracelet in the world should have the glidelock clasp.

Amen !

Annan · 11 March 2014, 10:07 AM

I've not had the opportunity to try a Glidelock but know I would love it. Wish I had it on my 216570.

jjnd08 · 11 March 2014, 10:09 AM

Easy link and glide lock were great additions to Rolex bracelets.

SWISSAHOLICS · 11 March 2014, 10:13 AM

Glidelock is an awesome feature.

LandLawMan · 11 March 2014, 10:25 AM

That tiny little double-folding/expanding link hidden inside the GMT-II bracelet is AMAZING. It affords about the same expansion as you would get by sliding the GlideLock open by one "bar" (one of the six little indentations inside the Sub bracelet).

I don't know what you call that little folding link in the GMT-II bracelet, but it's pure genius. Works brilliantly.

That's the easy link clasp.

I love it, and bracelet isn't as chunky looking as the sub.

sco · 11 March 2014, 10:17 AM

All hail the mighty glidelock! I absolutley love it and I think that out of my dozen watches, the sub fits me best due to its clasp.

HL65 · 11 March 2014, 10:19 AM

Makes life soooo easy!

HogwldFLTR · 11 March 2014, 10:37 AM

Is this really meant for adjusting the watch to fit over a wet suit? Just out of curiosity.

Yes. There's no separate divers extension like on the old bracelet.

jas316 · 11 March 2014, 10:49 AM

One of the reasons why I bought the SubC, great feature to have. Enjoy!

lmcgbaj · 11 March 2014, 10:50 AM

The best clasp ever. It made me sell all my other divers. It also sucks because I cannot go back to pre-ceramic subs. I've been spoiled. 16640 and 14060 just do not feel the same anymore. Just because of this clasp I know for a fact that my collection will always contain a 116640 or 114060 no matter what. It makes the SubC the best diver watch in the world. That is how much I love the Glidelock. ;)

ROLEX4EvEr · 11 March 2014, 10:53 AM

My TT Sub was loose I brought it a non AD and he took links off and it still wasn't perfect, When I went to the AD he explained the guy didn't know about the newer Rolexs and showed me the glide lock. I felt like going back and educate the Jeweler.

RRGHOST1 · 11 March 2014, 10:54 AM

You have to admit they are good !

JohnBaker3 · 11 March 2014, 11:00 AM

OK...it works great if you have a newer edition of the watches....I just walk around with a paper clip in my pocket so that my vintage can be "adjusted" on the fly....

Be safe.

Tridor · 11 March 2014, 12:34 PM

The same thing happened to me yesterday ... first time I tried the Glidelock. Holy smokes! The Glidelock is awesome.

skprd13 · 11 March 2014, 01:47 PM

Awesome clasp love it. My wrist will change throughout the day and the easy of adjustment makes wearer it a pleasure.
