Two tone sub band

Can an old style clasp be changed to the new style on two tone submariner?

The answer is yes.
The hard part would be to source the buckle/clasp, and if you do, be prepared for on or near 2K!

The new SS glidelocks are close to 2k.. I would at least double that for a TT version....

I say flip the current Submariner and put the funds + the 2k you'd spend on the TT Glidelock and you will be pretty close to a Subc!

Yeah, sell the old one and get the new one. You will come out ahead in the long run

Ouch! I thought it was tough to save for an entire watch. Now it's tough to save just for a band and clasp.
