GMT II (126710) clasp problem.

[CharlesN]

Hi all.

I have a GMT II (126710) I really do not like the clasp at all. It does not have Glidelock which IMHO is a huge mistake by Rolex.

I also have a Sub date (116610). I love the clasp as it is so adjustable.

Does anyone know if the clasp from 116610 would fit the bracelet (Now Jubilee) of the GMT II (126710).

I am not bothered about the polished centre section at all because it is simple enough to get it polished if needs be.

I am not worried about my watch becoming a Frankenwatch as i would always keep the original clasp just in case.

So, Does anyone have any idea ?

I posted this question in the general area and it was answered.

I guess its a NO.

I think I am going to part company with my GMT II I find the clasp just annoys me too much.

Great to "see" you Charles.

I dont see why it wouldn't.

I personally think the glidelock clasp is unnecessary for the 126710. IMO it would be too large and “chunky” feeling. Now if Rolex develop a shorter/smaller glidelock clasp for the DJ and GMT references, I’d be in.

I’ll also add that I’d prefer it if the easy link had a 2 or 3mm adjustment instead of the 5 mm currently provided. I often find that 5mm is just too much.

I am with you on both your points.

I much prefer the easy link to the glidelock, I have had both and found the glidelock too large and bulky

[danimelara]

have you ever worn a watch with the glidelock?

it's huge!

I feel the same, glidelock needs to be removed from the wrist to adjust it, mostly twice to get it good.
Apart from that it looks horrible, all you can see is a clasp.

Easy link works like a charm for me, just a small nick on the bracelet and a perfect fit
