OK, so I took my Sub-C to the RSC in midtown Manhattan to determine why the Glidelock was stuck on the bracelet, and it seems that one of the screws got slightly loose on the link inside the clasp, sticking out the side and preventing it from popping up from the clasp. In other words, it's jammed. The tech told me he has to keep the watch for a day or two to figure out how to free it up. Sounds minor, but at the same time, I was surprised they needed to keep the watch. Seems like a bit of an Achilles' Heel of the new-style bracelet/clasp. Gotta say, for all the complaints about the old-style bracelets, including the ones with the charming rattle on my 5512 and 1680 Subs, this problem will never happen with them. I actually prefer the old bracelets for their simplicity. Sub-C owners, check the screws on your links!
