A little upgrading for the 14060M

Stickers still attached.

jacksot · 1 August 2017, 07:46 AM

Great upgrade! Arguably the perfect sub.

The contour on the clasp is amazing! It feels so nice on the wrist.

Looks great. Perfect 'marriage' of new with the old.

offrdmania · 1 August 2017, 08:53 AM

Exactly, take the best of the new along with the last of the old to make the perfect sub IMHO.

Chewbacca · 1 August 2017, 08:55 AM

nice project.

Joemck · 1 August 2017, 08:59 AM

Great idea. Wish all watches had glidelock!

mps354 · 1 August 2017, 09:04 AM

Best of both worlds!

Agreed, wish it was as slim as the 9315/0 clasp.

Some items in this picture appear larger than they actually are. Very minimal difference in length or width.

Etschell · 1 August 2017, 09:49 AM

complaining about the size of a glidelock clasp is absurd. Its meant to be longer for more adjustments.

There is so much adjustment it is ridiculous. I actually removed a link because there was so much more adjustment compared to the 93150 clasp.

I removed a permanent link at 6 and the fit is perfect for my (small) wrist. My watches must be 100% original, but the glidelock clasp is awesome so if you're happy that's all that matters. Congrats.

It's so you don't have to put in a divers extension with a wet suit.

I still have the 93150 clasp in my safe that I can swap back at any time which I probably wont do unless I sell it. This glidelock is just way too comfortable.

Came out great!

Perfect

Great idea and outcome! Did you source from an AD, Grey or a one off seller?

One off seller.

Stargazer735 · 1 August 2017, 10:31 AM

Nice! I've always been curious as to whether or not it's doable to put a modern clasp on a 5-digit Rolex.

I can't stand the stamped steel stuff. :(

You can source one through your AD.

not so easily.

most ads will only supply for a model that was delivered with that specific clasp and often only on an exchange basis.

That may be the case with some ADs. Luckily, I was able to order the entire bracelet for my LV and did not have to turn in the original bracelet in exchange.

Guess it depends on the AD.

subtona · 1 August 2017, 01:47 PM

i like it and would do it.

i have swapped out my clasp on the 14060 as well but used that from the 93250 bracelet.

Im in California and called at least a dozen AD's. The problem isnt the AD. I would say 90% of them had no problem selling a bracelet to me. It was when they called Texas to order one. They were told that they would need the original in exchange in order to close the purchase order or however that works. The AD's all told me that the bracelets are all now on the exchange program only. I had multiple AD's tell me the exact same line.

tgoose1 · 1 August 2017, 02:39 PM

Wore the tuna can clasp for 30yrs, and don't miss it a bit. Nice upgrade!

Guess I was fortunate on this side of the country. What they told me it's ordering just the clasp would be difficult.
So I sourced the complete bracelet and put it on my LV. Like yourself I put the original bracelet away.
It's a great mod, glad you're enjoying it. Here are some pics.
