GMT 11 TT 50th Anniversary Clasp
The clasp on the TT GMT has some nice features.
Hidden holes with slotted entry for ease of micro pin adjustment. Quick and easy rollover adjustment for tension - what's it called again Bo? Spring loaded lock - I don't, however, like to have to lift the locking clasp by the overhanging base of the gold crown. I feel as if I am going to flick it off. JJ's patented solid gold (not filled - not plated ) over the stainless steel. Daytona style and very solid construction all round compared to my SD and TT Sub and SS Sub bracelets for example. I hope Rolex eventually supplies this bracelet and clasp with all (if I can say it) tool watches. Maxi dial with the same thickness hour and minute hand. What other features do we need?

agreed 100% the new clasp is amazing
by the way..how do you open the small extension? Just pulling it out or you have to press somewhere like the submariner? I forgot to check that on my new style SS gmt but now it's gone |

SUPERB pics, Eddie!
Thanks for posting them! BTW: The exchange link is called "Easy Comfort" (sounds like some new razor from Gillette, doesn't it?! ) What other features we need on that new clasp WE NEED IT TO BE SCRATCH-RESISTANT!

The extension 'snaps' into the short position and just 'pulls' out for the extended position. There is no 'o' to push like the SD extension for example

Yes it is an amazing piece of engineering.
Just goes to show you how Rolex pays attention to details.

Amen to that, I'm fed up with keep removing the scratches from the gold strip along the back of the clasp. I wish I'd kept the protective plastic strip on.
