Is there a Rolex bracelet that will fit the 116900 that has the safety (clam shell) lock along with the lift-lock that is offered? I don't feel comfortable wearing without the safety. I wear on a Nato. Has anyone had any issues with the lift-lock popping open? The friction fit clasps from years ago are horrible.

No issues with it coming open. Only time Any watch has ever had that problem for me is al older 36 day date. I’m not sure which other bracelets fit I’m sure one does

Only time I’ve ever had that is with clasps with pushers (and they’ve been squashed as I’ve flexed my wrist)

Rolex bracelets and clasps today are top-notch. Even the basic oyster clasp (found on the 116900 and Oyster Perpetuals / Datejusts) is extremely secure via the hook / beak connection when locked. See the attached pic from the Rolex site.

Thanx guys. Is there a Rolex bracelet with safety lock that would fit the 116900?

Don't know about the bracelet. Is it possible to just source a clasp from a GMT or Explorer and swap that on to your current bracelet?

Great idea. I don't know if that would work either. Larry??
