Will a glidelock from a 40mm Sub fit on a 40mm Explorer I (224270)?
Hi,
I'm thinking about replacing my "easy link" on my 224270 with a glidelock from a 40mm Sub and I wanted to know if anyone has done this. I don't want to experiment so I'd like to know the answer before I try to get a glidelock. Thanks, Jonathan |

I don't have the 40mm sub. I have the 41. For the 41, the clasp is significantly longer and will change the wearing experience too much imho.

As an owner of the Explorer40 will be very curious to know the answer to this!

I don't know the answer, but might I make a suggestion before going down that path.
We have a member that posted here a week or so ago asking about the sub 41 half link and it it would fit the new EXP. Apparently, at least according to the responses, it does. I would try the half link option before going glide lock. A lot less expensive, and I've found the half link to being more of a key to a good fit than even a fancy adjustable clasp. |

I put a half link on my YG GMT and it was perfectly fine. Eventually I got a YG glidelock clasp and it’s even better and I like the added heft LOL.
