Glidelock Claps fit on a 16600 Sea Dweller?
 
All,

Question:

Would a Glidelock Clasp (only) fit on a 16600 Sea Dweller with a 93160 bracelet? All I want to do is remove the original 93160 clasp and replace it with the Glidelock Clasp.

Anyone have this configuration or any thoughts?

Wasted several hours on internet searches with no answer to this question.

Thanks much!

Yes, it is a 15.5mm ID fit.

Keep in mind that the glide lock clasp is longer overall than your current clasp so you will have to move around your removeable link configuration.
Also, good luck finding a clasp right now. They are near impossible to find by themselves unless you buy the entire bracelet ($2000-3000 on average). Rolex will not sell you one.
Dont get one of those Chinese made knockoffs from eBay, they are absolute garbage, have a rough fit, are out of spec and will mess up your factory screws.

Thanks for the note on this one.

Found an aftermarket one that was made on a CMC machine and made of quality stainless. I thinking I am going to move one from attempting to add the Glidelock Claps to the Sea Dweller and pick-up a Nato/Zulu strap or two.

I have a Rubber B and its great quality, but I am in between two whole sizes and I find the Rubber B experience very frustrating (9-months of use) as the Sea Dweller is either to tight or to loose and rolls under my wrist.

I know ... first world problems.
