glidelock bracelet by rolex

copyright rolex

now this shows you how complicated the glidelock bracelet is...... in fact, it's an engineering marvel and also quite an overkill ...... adjustment on the fly is now possible.....

rolex clasps used to be a laughing stock but things are different now............... the current models with the stamped metal clasps will very soon be replaced.....

from memory, only a few are left......

explorer
explorer 2
yachtmaster
submariner ss and tt (there is a new submariner yg/wg this year)

rolex series 5: rolex clasps

spotted in the rolex forum on www.timezone.com ......... question: are the clasps on the daytona and new gmt master 2 the same???

well.....i posted a reply there but here are more pictures............ and no, they are not exactly the same....

let's look at the daytona clasp...... it's slight shorter in length and comes with the quick adjustment feature....



there are also 3 positions for the minor adjustment holes....



as for the new gmt master 2.....it is also equipped with the quick adjustment feature......which is really cool....



you can see the glidelock mechanism that allows the clasp to close securely yet as smooth as butter....



in comparison, it is also longer than the daytona clasp....



the inner clasp is also different........

you can just see the catch for the glidelock on the inner clasp.....

that's all for now folks....
