SDc 116600 half link options

Hello everyone,

I love my SDc 116600, but I can't get the clasp to be centered on my wrist. The only way I can make it centered is if I had a half link on the 6 o'clock side of the bracelet.

I was told Rolex doesn't make half links for the 116600, so I'm considering buying and using a 116610 half link.

Does anyone know if the 116610 half link will work on a 116600 bracelet? And are they aesthetically identical?

Thank you very much for any help.

.

Only the SEL is different between 97200 and 97400.

No problem to use Sub-C 1/2 link on a C-Dweller.

Yes, the Submariner half link will fit your SD bracelet just fine. I ordered one each for my Explorer 214270 and Exp II. The parallel bracelet links all share the same width and fit into 6 o'clock end of the clasps. The half link is also fully floating and allows for an exceptional fit when mounted as the first link into the clasp. Cheers

Have you tried to remove the divers extension link? I did and it fits perfectly now. Good luck!

Exactly; the difference between the extension and a regular link is about the same as a half link. I did the same to dial in the fit with mine.

I had removed the diver extension. The problem was on the 6 o'clock side which, unfortunately, neither the glidelock nor diver extension helps with. Thanks for the advice, though!

Thanks for everyone's help. I got the SubC's half link on my SDc bracelet and it fits and looks perfect. :)

I have the same issue and an half-link at 6 would make the clasp centered perfectly.
Any idea about the price of that half link?

I had a similar issue and fitted the Sub half link and removed the dive extension. love the 116600 and I'm surprised that it hasn't really followed the price increase trend (Not to the the same scale anyway)
