Thanks for the info.
Would anybody have an idea on how much a clasp would cost. Also, I guess that RSC in Bexley would be the best people to ask?

Yes the clasp alone if you could sourse one would be well over £1000 retail closer to £1300.

I spoke with Rolex RSC today and the price for a new bracelet with the glide lock clasp (which they would have to fit) is £702.00

I have both the SubC and the Explorer II 42. Just curious - my Explorer II bracelet fits me just right, but I did notice that it only has the summer / winter minor adjustment available. Do you need more than that or is it just too loose (or too tight)? You can't find a comfortable setting for your wrist?
I find both bracelets to be absolutely acceptable, although I do like the look of the longer SubC clasp and the glidelock is nice, but when I wipe it over (after each shower), I find the Explorer II clasp easier (less messing around, disengaging, resetting length, etc.), so for me they are both a nice alternative. |

QUOTE That is a huge difference in price....is it £1300 or £702?? I'm highly curious.QUOTE Good question and one that I can't answer, that is what the sales lady at St James, London told me. Personally, I would say that the price that she quoted me was too low, unless of course it was purely for the clasp alone
