I have just bought some 21mm links and a deep sea glidlock clasp .

Before I get carried away can i fit the clasp to a SubLN or say a Daytona 116520 bracelet .

Where is the 21mm at the watch head then as it gets smaller does it end up the same size as most bracelets at the clasp.

Has anyone posted pics off this style clasp on other than the deep sea model .

TIA

The Sub-C and Daytona both have a 20mm lug width, so their bracelets are not compatible with the DeepSea and vice versa.

He's talking more specifically about the clasp where the lug width wouldn't come into play.

Yes you can. Both bracelets taper to 20mm.

The bracelet on my Sub-C tapers to 16mm near the clasp, while being 20mm at the lugs

I think the Deep Sea Bracelet goes from 16mm Clasp to 21mm at the Watch between the shoulders.

It will be with me Tuesday so I will fit it and post how I get on with the fitting .

I just wanted to be prepaired for dissapointment .

I conducted a search using google:

site:www.rolexforums.com Deep Sea Bracelet

The threads I checked all indicate that it might be possible to attach the clasp, but I was unable to find anyone who had done it.

Please keep us posted.

Whoops...i meant 16mm. Clasp sits in spare links. Spare oyster links are all the same width so the various oyster bracelet clasps are all interchangeable.

Easy !

Fit the DSSD clasp onto your Sub, put the Sub clasp on the ExpII and leave the Daytona as it is :-)
