I agree they should all come with them. I would even pay to retrofit mine.

I love the Glidelock clasp on my 116610LN!!!

My super jubilee with the hidden clasp is super comfortable, but sometimes it's a bit too loose or a bit too tight depending on temperature.

Totally agree! Both glidelock & easylink clasps are definitely HUGE improvements.

Im loving my GMT with easy link, and looking forward to a sub with glidelock, best of both worlds.
Since I am new to the Rolex world I dont know the numbers of the model but, that green sub is definetly on my short list glidelock, stock and barrel.
good luck

Yep, I saw that, but will it fit a 93160?!
It's a straight bolt on. Just need a screwdriver

Love the Glidelock version on the DSSD (flip-up center part) but always needed to remove the long diver's link to get a good fit since the long divers link tends to make the clasp stick out at the end when you use the Glidelock....










Divers link removed: Better fit, better look!

I too, am a fan of the glidelock on my 116610. I don't adjust it that often, but when I do, it makes a world of difference to the level of comfort of the watch on my wrist.

The only downsides are that it is on the large side and tends to be a scratch magnet.

The glidelock is awesome! I've had the easylink before, and there's no comparison.

I never thought of wearing this with a 1680. Very interesting idea. Thanks for sharing the pics. Looks good.
