Icon5 Clasp changing.

I posted in the tech area of the forum but no replies, so trying here.

Silly question, so pardon my noobness.

After getting the Hulk and BLNR.....I really prefer the newer more modern clasp over the clasp of my Yachtmaster 16622 from 2006. I actually love the look of the older style clasp when closed.......but I really love the function and feel of the newer style clasps on my Hulk and BLNR.

I know the newer 116622 Yachtmasters have the update clasp. But I am happy with my 16622 and don't see the point of buying the newer version.

So it is possible to change just the clasp to the newer version? (Either through RSC or parts dealers)

Or order a new bracelet for the 16622 with the updated clasp?

I am already guessing the price will be expensive, or would have to go aftermarket, which I do not want to do. I just was wondering if I could just get the clasp as I love the bracelet on my 16622 and it is in great condition. I just really want that updated clasp, but wondering if it's worth the hassle.

Thanks for reading my ramble and any advice.

Random pic for fun:

Chron24 has a Rolex Parts section. You might even try Ebay and stumble across a used one.

There is a new modern Datejust easylink clasp on eBay right now: seller is from the Netherlands, and I think the price is about $700.
