Glidelock Claps for Deepsea 136660

Hello I am wanting to put rubber strap on my deepsea 136660... So is there anyone that make a Good Quality Glidelock Claps after market? I do not want to use my original claps on the rubber strap... That way I can swap back-in-forth for oyster to the rubber strap.... I did contact my AD and the original deepsea claps can be ordered and it would be $2,400.00 Any Suggestions?

Just cannot see the point in putting a rubber strap on any Rolex that already got the bracelet it was designed for.

I don't have any knowledge of aftermarket clasps but I suggest that they will all feel inferior to original deepsea clasp which is mechanically beautiful.

When I switch my blue sub to everest, it takes an additional 5-10 min to unscrew the clasp from bracelet and screw it onto the rubber strap.

Usually you won't swap back to the bracelet for at least a few months so it might be worth the extra 5-10 minutes to just put the original clasp on.

Just make sure you have the proper screwdriver and loctight 222

Totally worth $2400, just buy the authentic clasp.
