Here's a fun one I did to show the fit on each 16610 vs 116610 vs 97200 vs 93250

How much did the bracelet run you from the AD? Did you have to say you had a watch with glidelock originally or they just took care of you? I hope you don't mind my asking.
Looks great btw |

Send me a PM. I'd rather not put the AD 'out there'.

Hmmmm. I would love to do that. Can you put a glidelock on the original sub bracelet. So you would be just replacing the clasp?

It looks great but it's not a kermit anymore because of the glide lock.

Glidelock bracelet...on a kermit!
Brilliant, definitely my favorite bracelet. My father in law has a Kermit and if I ever end up with it I'll do this. Thanks for posting!!

Nice work you put up for this thread!
Off topic, 1661o "Kermit" is a LN, not LV. A GB (green bezel) yes, but not LV. Also, i've had my watch for over an year and only when i sized the bracelet i've played with the glidelock. Today was the first time i really tested it for the best settings for my wrist, indeed a great feature |

This must be why Rolex requires a bracelet exchange for a new one or the watch head be sent in now.

Congrats! I also have a glidelock bracelet for just such occasions! Great on 5-digit stainless references.

Great combo
From a watch standpoint biggest regret. 2 years ago Davidsw had one on a glidelock for 7500 kicking myself for not buying it. I would have bought a black bezel to swap out and done. |

i just wish the glidelock clasp were shorter. On smaller wrists, it takes up a big chunk of the total bracelet length, and doesn't sit quite as comfortably as it should. The same adjustability with a shorter range of options (and maybe a diver's extension to make up the difference) would be a welcome change.

Questions
Sorry for reviving an older thread:
if (returning to wear a Rolex after 19 years again...) I could put my hand on a later 16610 (no-hole, Super-Luminova, "SWISS MADE") will the newer, Glide-Lock bracelet (97200) of the maxi case Sub still fit perfectly? Regarding clasp length (as mentioned in the previous comment): having a 6.7 " = 17 cm wrist should I expect a pleasant wear/fit or is this wrist size too small for it? Maybe anyone tried the mentioned Glide-Lock bracelet to the Sea-Dweller 16600 and/or Tudor Oyster Chronograph 79260/270/280?... Thanks for any kind input! Regards, Robert |
