May be the greatest enhancement to the wrist watch since the date. I live in Florida and get humidity like most of you can only dream about so my wrist changes size hourly. To be able to micro adjust the size of the bracelet on a whim is a godsend to me.

I want all of my Rolex's retrofitted with this clasp, Rolex..are you listening? (probably not)

Can it be bought as a spare part for retro- or optional upgrades?

I think that's one of the big reasons I love wearing my DSSD so much... I love playing with the fit of my watch. It's so awesome when you put on thick gloves or wetsuit and can just make the quick, perfect adjustment immediately.

I agree with you 100%. The Glidelock really spoils you when the weather starts changing. I am looking forward to my first summer with the Sub C so I can tune the fit as the days get warmer.

I also have found that I have to wear my classic models a tad looser to compensate.

I'm with you on this.... If I could get my hands on a couple dozen, I would change all my watches over........

Thats the ONLY thing I miss on my Sub C. The Glidelock rocks!

SS Oyster · 31 March 2011, 06:33 AM

What's it called on the SubC?

The GMT Master · 31 March 2011, 06:53 AM

It's still Glidelock on the Sub C, it's just a slightly different way of operating, and also without the additional diver's extension link. Curmudgeons, this is one of the reasons why us Modernistas go on about the bracelets so much

Lion · 31 March 2011, 06:57 AM

I would love to have the Glidelock clasp on my GMT Pepsi as I have very small wrists(6.25") and am about ready to remove a permanent link. Maybe Rolex might listen to their customers(hint...hint)and make them available!!!

Amen to that, brother!

It would be fantastic if Rolex would sell the glidelock bracelet. But, Rolex prefers to sell a watch with a bracelet.
