panerai153 Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 A previous post about bracelet clasp failures with the DSSD bracelet led me to wonder about the Glidelock on the GMT IIc I'm sitting here looking at the bracelet on my GMT IIc Ceramic. It looks like there should be some adjustment in the clasp mechanism (Glidelock). I'm sure the purpose of the Glidelock in the genuine is to allow for a small amount of adjustment to compensate for normal changes in a wearer's arm. For the life of me, I can't see where the Rep bracelet adjusts. Does anyone know the secret button to push, or any other means of adjustment? Looking at this bracelet, It looks far more suseptible to failure than the older Fliplocks with the springbar holes in the clasp drilled all the way through.Maybe Rolex designers just couldn't stand the idea of their new bracelets having holes drilled through the clasp, but it sure is more comforting to know that you have a springbar going all the way through, rather than sitting in a small indent in the side of the clasp.

jamesg Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 The GMT2C does not have a Glidelock clasp... it has what's called the Easylink comfort extension. This link shows how it works: www.rolex.com/en/rolex-watches/milgauss/easylink It's for the Milgauss but is same as the GMT Cheers JG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panerai153 Posted March 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 @jamesg Thanks a lot for the correction and the information. I was looking at the other end of the clasp where it appears one section should telescope in and out, never looked at the other end! That is really a very simple and elegant way to take in or let out 5mm. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
