16710 on easylink clasp.. pics !!!

Today I managed to source a modern easylink clasp for my beloved pepsi.
It is the same clasp that comes with the 42mm explorer II.
I tried the glidelock clasp before but it looked long and also felt heavy on an old school watch like the classic GMT II.
This is for me the best combination. Hollow comfortable 78790A became even more comfortable with the nice extension link clasp.
For those that are interested, the clasp is a direct bolt on and fits perfectly.
Plus now my watch fully consists of 904L steel
Enjoy the pics

Two arms and almost a leg I would expect.

I like this change as well, would be interested to know where I can source one of the new clasps. It is probably the only thing I like about the modern Rolexes.

As it looks like nobody wants to say how much one of these clasps cost I will ask my Rolex official repair agent how much it is when he returns from holiday.
I have a guess it will be around £400 to £500
