Sourcing a Daytona Clasp

Hi all,

Does anybody know how I can get a Daytona (116520) clasp alone? Do I just walk into an AD and order one or do I get laughed at? These days you never know...

Thanks!

Do you already have a Daytona? If not, the chance of getting one via the AD is unlikely.

If you have the Daytona and your existing clasp is broken or unusable, then you can just walk in and have it replaced. Rolex now requires that the damaged one be turned in. Since last June, Rolex has made it very hard to acquire parts from an AD.

Here is one on the bay and by the looks of the sellers feedback, it looks like he accepts reasonable offers. Clasp looks ok to me but others may chime in on its authenticity.

Thank you. I guess then it won't work. It is actually my brother's Daytona. He lives in the Euro zone and will be visiting me in June. He wants to do a rubber bracelet/clasp combo in addition to the oyster bracelet, so he can switch easier.

I was lucky to source an older style Daytona clasp for a much cheaper price. However, there is a small issue; I cannot get an easylink anywhere. :(
