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.

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?

Around 2000 used if you are lucky enough to find one.
