Hidden clasp…
Bring it back for everything, the ultimate bracelet in my eyes just says Rolex like nothing else, as well as the iconic fluted bezel.
Real shame it’s not done anymore, on the DJ’s it looks incredible. Are there any other physical things people would opt for if given the option to bring something back? |

It is on the president and the smaller Datejust models up to 36mm.
But I agree it’s a fantastic clasp |

I like to be able to get the absolute perfect fit on my watches, so the lack of micro-adjustment puts the hidden clasp to the back of class for me.

Bracelet 63600 (from the DJ36) will fit the Daytona using the DJ36 spring bars.

What Rolex really needs to do is figure out how to make a hidden clap with no tool adjustment … that would be epic

It’s by no means perfect, totally get the adjustment argument I just think it looks great maybe down to the fact the first rolex I saw in the wild was a 36mm DJ with a bi metal hidden clasp, at that point it was so unique and just caught me.

Agree 100%. It was the feature that won me over when I decided to buy my 116234 DJ36

On my GMT with jubilee I definitley prefer having the EasyLink extension and the security of fliplock to the hidden clasp on my DateJust 36. On dressier, lighter watches like the DJ, it is a beautiful bracelet. On sports models, I think Rolex made the right move with the more robust fliplock + EasyLink design.

Thanks! I have had this combo for more than 2 years and love it! It’s even more comfortable than oyster and cherry on cake it gets much less scratches!

The spring bars for both the Daytona and DJ36 are the same p/n 23-40200

My wife will not wear a DJ with a hidden clasp. She has had a couple of them and no longer will wear one. Besides not being adjustable without adding or removing links, it's a nail buster. Her comments on this clasp: "obviously designed by a man." It looks like we may have to go with an Oyster bracelet on her next DJ 31.

The 36mm DJ comes with hidden clasp? I thought it came with the 'oysterclasp'

Needs some kind of a super-quick size adjustment function like the SubC bracelet. |
