Is it possible - Glidelock clasp on DJII?

The title says it all. I've heard great things about the glidelock. I've found a comfortable fit with my DJII but it involves the ez-link being open. I'm wondering if it's possible to put a glidelock clasp on the DJII?

Yesterday it was pretty warm and muggy in Chicago and my watch was feeling a little uncomfortable, but it couldn't do anything because my ez-link was already extended.

I could move my spring bar to make the watch a little looser by 2mm but then it slides over my wrist bone too easily. Damn. My only other option would be if Rolex made a TT half-link that I could add onto my bracelet.

I have a new SS DJII and I installed a brushed OEM half-link to get the perfect fit with the EZ-Link closed. Rolex does not currently make a TT oyster half-link; however, if your micro-adjustment is on the middle or smallest setting, the 1/2 link will be hidden by the clasp when it is closed, so you could still use a SS 1/2 link to get the perfect fit and it would only peek out when you extend the EZ-Link. Hope this makes sense.

(I think that the Glidelock is better suited to a diver's watch and due to its length, may have a tendency to visually over-power the DJII.)

Isn't the Easylink able to give you more than that?
