Rolex 16610 question
Is the 16610 supposed to get the glidelock clasp with the SUb update this coming year? I see that the 116613 has the glideloick, just wondering if the 16610 would get this feature?

While nothing has been revealed officially by Rolex SA- I would imagine- the glidelock is a modern feature of evolution of the new, supercased 116610.

Probably the only thing I'm looking forward to in the new sub. Not a fan of the supe case or the ceramic bezel, but the glidelock clasp is an improvement IMO.

If you can picture the bracelet on the GMT Master II 116710, with the polished center links, I imagine the new steel Subs will have a bracelet just like that. It only makes sense.

Hopefully, polished links on the ss sub would be silly.

Let's be clear..
IUf the Sub is changed..it will have a new number and no longer be a 16610, but rather a 116610 with all the same changes that the GMT IT underwent - but with the Sub Glidelock clasp..
