Can I put a glidelock on my 16800

Even if I could I probably wouldn't, just because:

1) Cost (what would the cost be ?)

2) I have a LN, LV, DSSD, and smurf

BUT

I now NEVER wear my first Rolex, that was given to me by my father. This watch has personal meaning to me, but as far as wearing....the Sub C's wear much nicer in looks and comfort.

Should I trade my 16800 for a ND SubC when it comes out ?

Opinions ?

Yes you can is the short answer. The why is the long one.

As a gift with potential sentimental value down the road (if not already) I'd say no. It seems you can get by with your impressive holdings already. And if you want the new SubC buy it all on its own here on TRF to save money.

Maybe get the 16800 serviced and put it away in the safe deposit box for 10 years and then decide? Once it's gone, there is no going back sentimentally that is.
