Rose gold clasp swap

Looking to acquire the 116655 in the near future.
I'm nervous about the daily comfort wear of the Oysterflex.

The RG Daytona with bracelet (116595) has the Easy Link on it. Could one swap out the standard 116655 clasp with the clasp on the RG Daytona?

Rolex won't sell clasps anymore unless they do the swap.

Instead, you might ask your AD to order the Easylink assembly. That would be far less expensive.

Yes I would ask the AD if they can get one for me but was just curious if the figment if it was worth my time to inquire.

Since Rolex won't sell clasps separately anymore, your options are a bit limited. Maybe Rolex Canada can. I know RUSA won't.

The Easylink assembly is your best bet.

It's definitely worth your time to inquire, IMO.

I know one member who asked and was told no, and another who was told yes. So, maybe you'll get lucky...

My wife has the 116655 and I have worn it a couple of times, and she loves the clasp. The baffles, or whatever you would call them that are located on the upper side of the oysterflex, provide not only a way to get the water away from the skin and from under the strap, but also a way to allow the strap to, "flex." so it never feels to tight.

The trick is getting the Right combination of straps for you. There are the EE EF and EG and you can use any combination to get the right fit.

Easy link is not necessary in this application. Look at all the folks buying Daytona's, as well as the 116655...
