image.jpg can anyone please try to position the clasp like the photo and try to pull the bracelet part that is attached to the clasp and the clasp itself ? Mine is a new 116040 and there is a very very very ( i cannot stress how little it is) little bit of play when i pull those is it normal cause i have used glidelock tooo much ? Does using glidelock too much affect its security ? I beg you no sarcasm BTW its not like its new or it was not before i just dont remember if it was before

I will preface this by saying I do not have a glide lock clasp, but with most bracelets you do have a little bit of play so the bracelet can flex with your wrist. I going to guess what you are saying is happening is normal. In addition, I am pretty confident Rolex would have accounted for people adjusting their bracelets often, so I do not think you have anything to worry about. If you are concerned, swing by your AD and have them look it over for you.

I think it's ok.

If the "play" is as little as you say...it sounds like it's within the realm of "normal" operation. It's difficult to say for sure without some better quantification of the amount of movement you're seeing.

It is normal. Don't worry about it.
