How much did the bracelet run you from the AD? Did you have to say you had a watch with glidelock originally or they just took care of you? I hope you don't mind my asking.
Looks great btw

Send me a PM. I'd rather not put the AD 'out there'.

Joearch · 28 April 2017, 12:34 PM

Hmmmm. I would love to do that. Can you put a glidelock on the original sub bracelet. So you would be just replacing the clasp?

sea-dweller · 28 April 2017, 12:50 PM

Looks great!

rolexnub · 28 April 2017, 02:54 PM

It looks great but it's not a kermit anymore because of the glide lock.

i'm curious about this as well. i have an old sub and the bracelet is showing it's stretch...i'd love to swap out a new glidelock bracelet.

drm20 · 5 July 2017, 01:55 AM

Brilliant, definitely my favorite bracelet. My father in law has a Kermit and if I ever end up with it I'll do this. Thanks for posting!!

Nice work you put up for this thread!
Off topic, 1661o "Kermit" is a LN, not LV. A GB (green bezel) yes, but not LV.
Also, i've had my watch for over an year and only when i sized the bracelet i've played with the glidelock. Today was the first time i really tested it for the best settings for my wrist, indeed a great feature

rod727 · 5 July 2017, 02:18 AM

Absolutely great combo......wow

Frakis · 4 July 2018, 05:35 AM

Looks great!! Thanks for posting the pictures! Wear this beauty in good health. Cheers!

Brazicano · 4 July 2018, 05:43 AM

This must be why Rolex requires a bracelet exchange for a new one or the watch head be sent in now.

BuddaLun · 4 July 2018, 07:00 AM

Kermit + Glidelock = Perfect Sub.

watchmework · 4 July 2018, 07:07 AM

Nice little mod, enjoy!

Wow, that's original. Thanks for sharing.

OP, super mod. Now that watch is unbeatable!

Onequik135i · 4 July 2018, 07:25 AM

Here you go

Boaters · 4 July 2018, 07:44 AM

Fine minds think alike. I put a glidelock on my 16710 and love it what a difference.

Bladeshot · 4 July 2018, 07:57 AM

Congrats!

I also have a glidelock bracelet for just such occasions! Great on 5-digit stainless references.

hbombkid · 4 July 2018, 11:09 AM

Great combo

From a watch standpoint biggest regret. 2 years ago Davidsw had one on a glidelock for 7500 kicking myself for not buying it. I would have bought a black bezel to swap out and done.

That would have been a great deal!

Likestheshiny · 5 July 2018, 03:07 AM

i just wish the glidelock clasp were shorter. On smaller wrists, it takes up a big chunk of the total bracelet length, and doesn't sit quite as comfortably as it should. The same adjustability with a shorter range of options (and maybe a diver's extension to make up the difference) would be a welcome change.

Robertus2 · 9 October 2022, 10:41 PM

Sorry for reviving an older thread:

if (returning to wear a Rolex after 19 years again...) I could put my hand on a later 16610 (no-hole, Super-Luminova, "SWISS MADE") will the newer, Glide-Lock bracelet (97200) of the maxi case Sub still fit perfectly?

Regarding clasp length (as mentioned in the previous comment): having a 6.7 " = 17 cm wrist should I expect a pleasant wear/fit or is this wrist size too small for it?

Maybe anyone tried the mentioned Glide-Lock bracelet to the Sea-Dweller 16600 and/or Tudor Oyster Chronograph 79260/270/280?...

Thanks for any kind input!

Regards,
Robert

Yes would work perfectly as long as the 16610 case has the SEL lip, as shown below:

Here the 97200 on my S serial 16610 (no longer own the bracelet)
