16710 on glidelock bracelet !!! Pics
A perfect classic watch on the top contemporary bracelet!
I just replaced the bracelet of my pepsi GMT II with the 97200 glidelock bracelet of my 114060 (not just the clasp, the entire bracelet). Guess what? It fits like a glove. The watch now feels even more substantial and is so comfortable. I will let the pics speak

Looks great. I was checking out some older Rolex's yesterday and I definitly like the braclet on my 114060 better than any of them.

I plan to do the same thing with my new blue/black GMT, will bracelet from my SubC date fit?
I'll wear it with casual clothes so I don't want PCLs and I also like glidelock. |

I'm pretty sure it will fit, but you will have to use the springbars from your GMT bracelet. Someone here on the forum has done it. Do a search.

Perfectly balanced clasp Maestro !! Beware the clasp, they seem to brake at the spot welding area. Regards from home

Looks awesome and I bet it fits perfect too!
I noticed the bracelet is still new. Meaning you have the head of a new 114060 lying around? What strap are you gonna put on it. |

This looks great. I cant believe I ran across this post. I just purchased a Glidelock from a forum member to use on my 16710! Now I am really excited to receive it.
Are you still wearing this combo? Did you have any problems with the Clasp as George mentioned above? |

I'm thinking about doing this for my 16710 when the bracelet stretch is an issue. I wonder what the cost would be for the new bracelet?
