I'd love to try a different brand's SS watch on a bracelet, but I love the easy link and glidelock clasps on the Rolex. Do any other brands have something comparable?

I'm talking beyond the "pinhole" ones that most divers have.

Ah, that's right - I forgot about the Pelagos.

I wish I liked how it looked more; the bracelet, Ti case, and lunes bezel make it a well engineered watch!

Yes it is. As far as I know, Ploprof since Omega released the new version, and now on the recent Mark II. The new Speedy got a new box, screws on links but so far still with the old terrible clasp.

Appreciate it; hopefully they'll start to put the improved clasp on the rest of the speedmasters. I'll be all over one once they do.

Glashutte Original has best I've seen yet: logo on clasp is hidden button which when depressed allows you to easily adjust for a perfect fit. Removing/adding links is a snap as well, can do it with a toothpick.

I love GO design, didn't know they did that! I'll have to check it out!

The new Seamaster 300 vintage diver has a very similar mechanism. I haven't handled it, but I've had a few friends, as well as my AD (Rolex/Omega AD) say it's on par with the Glidelock.
