Glidelock on Seadweller?

[strafer_kid]

Just wondered if anyone knows if a Glidelock bracelet would fit an SD16600?

Many thanks

The clasp would fit but you would need a solid bracelet link. The older SeaDwellers have the clasp riveted to the first bracelet link (bottom pict), whereas the Glidelock (top) has a screw attaching it to the bracelet.

You would need an extra solid center link to attach the clasp to the bracelet.

I have comparison picts posted at http://www.minus4plus6.com/bracelet.htm and more on Glidelock at http://www.minus4plus6.com/deepsea.htm and http://www.minus4plus6.com/glidelock.htm

The bracelet could conceivably fit, but the new SeaDweller bracelet has raised solid end links and the spring bar holes might not quite line-up. The Submariner could conceivably but really won't know until someone tries.

I put the bracelet from my 114060 on my 16660. Slight mismatch on the endlinks vs. lugs, but livable for me.....

Whoops, just noticed that I typo'd the ref number. Should be 16600.

Nothing a new 116600 wouldn't solve:)

Do NOT tempt me....I'm torn in too many directions as it is for the next piece, I really really don't want to add another candidate to the mix lol

The DSSD bracelet would never be able to fit the SD 16600 because the lugwidth of the DSSD 98210 bracelet is 21mm whereas the SD 93160 bracelet has 20mm lugwidth...

Went ahead in any event and added the 116600 to the collection! Very nice indeed - whilst I am still a big fan of the older cases and bracelets, the Glidelock is definitely very nice indeed. Thanks guys!
