Sub & GMT question

[Stresst]

Does the SS Sub come with the same band as the GMT? Rather can it come with the same? Special order perhaps?? IDK

I really want the Sub but the band on the GMT2C has me on the fence.

No, Rolex no longer mixes bracelets and I understand that it is extremely difficult for an AD to even get hold of a stand-alone bracelet..

Have the centre links polished if you get the sub, no harm done as it's easily put back to factory specs if required plus the sub has the glide lock clasp

Just polish the center links if that's the look you're after.
An AD will not and can not interchange the bands.

The Sub and GMT come with the same type band, the Oyster, as do most other Rolex models. But the clasp and adjustment mechanisms are very different.

A new GMT doesnt have the glide lock clasp?

[Tridor]

No. It has the easy link clasp.

If thats the case it will steer me back to the Sub for sure. What does it cost (approx) to polish center links?

I had no idea! Any reasoning behind it? My coworker has new datejust and it has it, figured all new models have it. IDK

Can't comment on your friends DJ but it didn't come from Rolex with the Glidelock clasp. Many people wonder why it's not on every watch but a lot of people aren't in love with the giant clasp. Also, from Rolex's perspective the Glidelock mechanism is just the newest version diver extension to make it easier to get over the sleeve of a wet suit than before without tools. I guess they simply don't look at it as a universal micro adjustment system for those days when you're retaining water, LOL.

Weirder still, the Glidelock on the DSSD is somewhat different than the Sub. On the DSSD it offers true "on the fly" adjustment right on the wrist.

Until recently, I thought the clasp was the same for the SubC and DSSD. The DSSD clasp is really the mac daddy of Rolex clasps.

Have the Easylink on my GMT and the Glidelock on my SubC.
Glidelock is infinitely more adjustable.
Don't know about the DSSD, yet.

The DSSD Glidelock will make you a true believer....

Initially it appeared that Rolex was marketing the names on its sports clasps as easy link (GMT, Daytona, YM1/2,etc), easy glide (SubC), and glide lock (DSSD). However, everything lately seems to have fallen into the "easy link" or "glide lock" name buckets.
