Where to source 97200 glidelock in UK?

Hello,

I live in the U.K. and wish to get a genuine Rolex 97200 glidelock clasp, but how and where from? I don’t need the whole bracelet as it’s going on a 14060M which doesn’t have SEL.

I bought a £30 cheap eBay fake as proof of concept. It works a charm and just what I want. I don’t like the tuna can clasp and love the adjustability of the glidelock. My wrist swells and contracts quite a lot during the day.

I hate having an after market piece on my Rolex and want the real deal. So many fakes, and now AD’s won’t source parts that aren’t for your watch. How can I get my hands on one in the U.K.?

Many thanks,


Mark

Depends where you are in the world the clasp alone was around £900-1100 maybe more now and is now exchange only so can't be bought loose.

Very difficult to source. Best bet is here on the forums (Parts for sale sub forum) or Chrono24.com.
