GMT IIC clasp

What type of adjustable clasp does this watch have? I think it is different than the SubC.

The new GMT II's use an Oysterlock Safety Clasp w/easy link extension. This is pretty much the standard clasp used in the Professional line with the notable exception of the Sub, Sub Date, and Deep Sea, which all use a Glidelock Extension Clasp.

No, the Yacht-Master uses the older version of the clasp - this has just been updated, and the new Yacht-Master will be getting the GMT-style clasp when it hits shops in a few months' time. Other watches that use this clasp include the Explorer and Explorer II (albeit a brushed version), the Daytona, and the Yacht-Master II

This is a TT GMTc buckle picturing the easylink adjustment..

It's a simple fold-over link system to extend or shorten the length!!

I really like this clasp- and it's a bit less bulky than the glidelock, and no big deal since I don't make much adjustments at all...

Yes its different, gmtIIc allows less adjustment compared to sub. Maybe because the nature of the watch itself, some subs are worn over diving suits so it needs more room for adjustment.
