Help with Rolex explorer ii

Hi all I have a Rolex explorer ii 16570 model and was wondering if there any aftermarket add on that I can put in the bracelet so it has a quick micro adjustment? The micro adjustment on my watch is either too tight or too loose.

I like the slide adjustment that’s on the omega seamaster and Rolex submariner.
Is there anything I can do to modify my bracelet so I can do micro adjustments on the fly?

Couldn’t you just add a 97200 glidelock clasp it? I believe it should bolt right up since the specs on both bracelets are pretty much the same right?
You can find one from time to time for sale here or if you already have the sub with a glidelock on it talk to RSC and say you want to add another clasp to put on leather or rubber.

Glidelock will bolt right up, if you can find one. So will the Sub Date half-link if you just need a bit of range adjustment.

I don't know what kind of aftermarket set up is out there.

The Rolex glide lock. Is it an insert so I put it in my explorer ii braclet or you remove the clasp on my explorer and replace it with the glide lock?

Can you send me a picture of what you are talking about. I tried googling it and all weird stuff coming up

. . .
No, it is not an insert, it is the clasp that comes on the Sub Date that you mentioned.

If it’s too lose you can keep a piece of gum under the bracelet and remove it when it gets tight. Also allows the watch to smell like your favorite gum and you can grab it easily if you’re meeting a special someone.

Get a rubber strap - they’re aftermarket and an infinite number of holes you can stab into it with an ice pick.
