glide lock clasps all the same?

Are the glide lock clasps all the same or specific to each model? Look at an aftermarket OysterFlex style band for my AirKing. Yes I know I can move my existiing but would like to have an extra.

Any clasp which fits the band will work on your watch. You may not like the size or look but it will still work.

Will a sub glidelock (116610) fit on a 06’ + 16570 bracelet? Don’t see why not….

Not certain if the Sub 40 and the Sub 41 use the same glidelock. Yet another variant is the TT Glidelock.

And 2 types for the SS subs - 11 series and 12 series.

Se we're up to 8 (assuming the 116600 and 116610 use the same glidelock)

The 11 series clasps (116600/116660/114060/116610/etc) are different in size and parts from the 12 series clasps (124060/126600/126660/126610/etc).
