Rolex Bracelet Glidelock 97200

I have an opportunity to purchase a pre owned Rolex Glidelock 97200 Bracelet, Ideally id like to obtain a 93150 however I was wondering if the Glidelock would fit a 5513 Submariner?

As far as I know the bracelet won't fit but the clasp could be adapted on a 93150.

The solid end links from a 97200 won’t fit the 5513 case but you can swap out just the clasp. Both the 97200 and 93150 use a 15.5mm wide removable link. I did the same swap on my 14060M. If I recall you will have to remove a link since the glidelock clasp is longer than the 93150 clasp. You can also add the 1/2 link from the 97200 to get an even better fitment on your wrist.

This setup makes my 14060 the most comfortable watch I own. I almost forget its on my wrist sometimes.
