submariner date 116610N without glidelock clasp

(not sure what happened to my previous posting) - here it goes again.

I bought a new submariner date 116610LN recently and realised this model is meant to have a glide-lock clasp but this one doesn't appear to do so. It was bought at an authorised dealer in singapore. It's meant to be the ceramic bezel model and feels like it but I am not sure if its a fake or whats going on.

Pictures attached as requested.

I see the glidelock in your pictrues. I believe your previous post was moved as you were discussing FAKE watches and we do NOT here.

Ummm...... That watch has a glidelock clasp and a ceramic bezel.... not sure what your concerns are but it looks just like my Sub C 116610LN bought from an AD in the US.

As said above, indeed your watch does have a glidelock clasp.

To understand how to use it refer to the Sub-C booklet that came with the watch.

Enjoy that beauty!

Might I suggest you get your facts correct about your watch before you post, which is quite simple to do.Have a look at link below from the Basel press release, please note how the clasp is described in the picture.Dont forget the clasp on the DSSD is different from the new clasp on sub.

Hrrrm - am I missing something, but I can clearly see the glide lock....The clasp itself isnt as huge/long as some of the other newer clasps w/ the glidelock, but you def have the glidelock.

Possibly you thought the Sub had the same type of glide lock clasp as the DSSD; it doesn't. Yours is correct. Looks pretty cool too, congratulation!
