Can you still utilize the entire glidelock settings, or just last few?

Also unless you have a 116655 or at least a corresponding serial number the AD will not at all be able to order additional straps from Rolex, so unless you have the YM you'll have to make do with whatever an AD has lying around.
I got told no a lot before one said yes. I think the fact that this is not supposed to be a stand alone product but merely a spare part for the 116655 Yacht-Master factors into the price.
Yes that's the rub. Finding one; not like Rolex to let these go lightly.

Nah. I just lick the caseback and the watch stays put.
