Sub c and DSSD links

Hi,
Does anyone know if a spare link from my sub c will fit a DSSD? And how many links are there in a new DSSD. I may do a px with my sub c for the DSSD but the guy who has the DSSD says there are only 10 links on it, i thought there may have been more.

Thanks
Stu

Yes they will. The links are exactly the same (the changeable ones). Will be a perfect 'factory' fit.

Yes, only 10 links on my DSSD.

Are you sure the Sub C links will fit on a DSSD?


I asked this question to my AD as I wanted a 1/2 a link from a Sub to fit on my DSSD to get a better fit but they stated that the links would not fit on the DSSD.

They could be wrong though, never know unless you give it a go.

Yes, my cousin (a watch nut) had the sub c for a while and i 'nicked' a link from it for my DSSD. They are identical, which makes sense from Rolex's point of view.

I don't know, but the DSSD band size is 21mm while the sub is 20mm. I know the that's the end link but don't the other links need to be relative in size? I doubt that they would fit but what do I know.

The SEL and the tapered links will, of course, NOT fit. However, when the strap tapers down to the 'standard' removable links, trust me, they will fit. After the tapered part of the strap, the links are identical. This is 100 percent fact, I had a link from a subc on my DSSD.
Hope this helps.
