Glidelock and Sea Dweller 16600

Think the new glidelock bracelet for the SubC will fit the class Sea Dweller? Maybe if I use the Sea Dweller pins that may help?

I have no idea, but would put my bet on yes. I have an extra bracelet if you need it to try before you buy...

Love to see this combination. When my SD bracelet stretches beyond fixing it would be nice to upgrade to a glide lock.

It fits the 16610. That has already been proven.

You must use the Sea Dweller pins.. the pivots at the end of the SubC springbars are larger in diameter and will not click onto the holes inside the Dweller or 16610 lugs..

I feel its an improvement for a 16610, by my hunt is after a TT for the 16613! I beat the heck out of my SS sub, and the original bracelet suit is very well.... but for some reason, I think the updated bracelet for the 16613 would be the ultimate setup! (The hollow links on the 16613 really bothers a WIS like me!

MY SEARCH CONTINUES!
