Glidelock! (Amazing)
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.

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

More poignantly, its main function is for it to be easily expanded and contracted for a wet suit... Diving.. submariner

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

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.

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

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

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

Glidelock is an awesome feature.

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.

Yeah, but....
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. |

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

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. ;)

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.

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.

It is awesome. Although it is a little long for my taste. The pros outweigh the cons.
