Clasp switch

Would anybody happen to know if the clasp on the Deepsea or SD43 is interchangeable with the clasp on the 114060, please? The next question is, how much does Rolex charge for one?

Yes fit yes but clasps are exchange only.

Does that mean I cannot order a clasp from my AD and keep both?

If you can find an AD who will sell you one, sure.

The problem is that AD's are not parts-houses for Rolex, and they generally need to provide serial numbers to order replacements.

Clasps are not on exchange for us, we can just order them and have a stock.

I asked my AD's service department about this and was told it is not available to purchase as a separate item. I would have to own a SDDS or SD before I could get a clasp and even then it would only be an exchange, unless I somehow "lost" the bracelet.

It makes no sense to me why Rolex integrated the Glidelock and Fliplock extensions on the SD models but not the Submariner models. The Submariner was their first dive watch.

For the customer that is correct, you cannot buy a separate clasp.

But I was talking to Rolliworks about it being exchange base, some parts (middle cases, movements, some dials & ceramic bezels) have to go back to Geneva before you can get a new one, even as RSC. Can't have a stock of them.
