I know, I am horrible about this. Now I have a few watches with adjustable clasps and they get worn 95% of the time. Especially on hot days or times when I know I will be walking etc I NEVER wear a fixed clasp. I used to reserve a strap for those days but now I just click the bracelet and keep on going.

Its amazing how much your wrist will swell up in an hour of walking on a hot day.

You are right Tony. I have been denying the whole Glidelock or at the very least Easy Link for too long. The weather has been in the high 70s here lately and it can drop to 30 overnight. Summers are +95 degrees. An adjustable clasp is a God send.

And to think there are NON- WIS folks out there with Rolex Sub C's who don't know what the heck a glidelock is, nor the faintest idea of how to use it! LOL!

Just put mine on a NATO. Tried a two piece Zulu but the springbar would not catch. I scratched the inside lugs a bit moving it around. Oh well I guess there's no way to avoid scratches where the springbar attached.
