Submariner type locking band for Oyster Perpetual

Is there a locking type clasp (similar to Submariner clasp) available for the Oyster Perpetual?
Thanks

Any Oyster clasp will fit on your Oyster bracelet. It just isn't going to be something that was originally provided.

Are you referring to the double locking type on the Submariner or the regular Oyster clasp.
I'm inquiring, as I use my Oyster Perpetual much less than the Submariner, as I'm very active and am afraid of losing it.

It not only has to come unsnapped, it still has to go over your hand...

Your Sub clasp simply unscrews and will re-screw onto your OP. The locking clasp was also on GMT's and Explorer IIs without the extension found on the Sub. They will all fit.

I used to be more paranoid about this, but, after owning a few models with and without the lock, I’ve found it never really mattered. YMMV

If you’re that worried, just carry insurance. A new bracelet would cost a couple of decades worth of insurance.

Submariner type locking band for Oyster Perpetual

After over 30 years of ownership, didn't realize the Submariner type locking clasp could be used on an OP! Thank you
