I think you can leave your tools in the tool box buddy.

You make assumptions about what others like or need. The Daytona "micro adjustment" as you call it does NOT work perfect for small fluctuations in wrist size due to climate temperature changes FOR EVERYONE. If it suits you, great! I will be using a Glidelock on my Daytona, thank you very much.
The Easylink is a 5mm change of length. Changing a pin position on the clasp is a 3mm length change. Glidelock offers the greatest flexibility with 2mm adjustments. It's my first choice on any sport model bracelet, correct to model or not. I use a rep Glidelock on my gen GMT. I suffered for years with an ill fitting bracelet with a gen flip lock. No more.
My daytona has polished centre links for starters and a brushed bracelet on it is not a look I ever want.
Your point is ridiculous. The glide lock is for quick adjusting to wear over a wet suit as divers need to change the size frequently. Unless you plan on wearing a wet suit to a motorsport event or the office on dress down friday every week then i think your good to go with the Daytona micro adjustment, most other watches don't even have this feature. I wouldn't go diving wearing my Daytona and the micro adjustment works perfect for small fluctuations in wrist size due to climate temperature changes. I had my watch sized at the dealer 7 years ago and never touched it since. So unless your planning on gaining / loosing 150lbs I think you can leave your tools in the tool box buddy.
Again, the wet suit argument totally misses my point. Think design perspective, buddy. I am talking about the natural evolution of the Rolex clasp DESIGN. The glidelock has been proven to be the most convenient, safe, tool-free, flexible design, regardless of what you wear -- wetsuits included. Nothing wrong with the EasyLink. I know that was designed for comfort. But needing a tool again for the clasp adjustment when you already had the glidelock is counter-intuitive. That's all I'm saying. What's ridiculous about that?
I like to wear watches tight on the wrist and i had some Seadweller‘s in the past. The Glidelock is a wonderful bonus on the watch and i used it several times a day because my wrist also expands and lowers during the day. If you work or lift weights your muscle will expand except your a skinny boy with no muscles.
I can fully understand putting that clasp on a Daytona or whatever - thats what i also will do!
I don’t care if the clasp is for another Model if it brings me so much advantages.
just my 2 or 3 cent...
Another one that cant read. My initial comment was in regards to the following question....
"why didn't Rolex use a glidelock for the Daytona?"
Ill state the SIMPLE answer one more time only. THE GUIDE LOCK CLASP IS A DIVE FEATURE FOR A DIVE WATCH. THE DAYTONA IS NOT A DIVE WATCH.
Im not talking about all the mods you want to make to your replica do what ever makes you happy. If you want to put a complete fantasy watch together knock yourself out. The Daytona doesn't have the clasp for the same reason it doesn't have a HEV Valve. Or a Submariner / Deep sea style dive bezel. Its not for DIVING.
There will be differences in opinions. A more mature and respectful exchange is more productive. We can disagree without being disagreeable. Name-calling, like "another one who can't read," or that's a ridiculous idea, is uncalled for and counter-productive.
1. If you care enough to read back post #361, this started when I asked mui.richard , and I quote for your convenience: "Pardon my ignorance, but I cannot make mine work. For my own education, how exactly does the easylink work exactly? I mean from your two pictures, I think you showed how to use the Rolex "micro-link." And I know how to do that. I am referring to how I can move the final link along the clasp like we do with our subs. It appears the easy link is not as easy, and would require a tool like the 5-digit subs? Pls enlighten me. TIA!"
2. This is not about slapping in a sub glidelock into the Daytona. That will be a fantasy Daytona. I was referring to the DESIGN EVOLUTION of the Rolex clasp in general, and how I wished Rolex adopted the GLIDELOCK CONCEPT that can be ADJUSTED TOOL_FREE. In post # 370, I clearly stated: "Thanks, mui.richard . It's the latter I was referring to. Yes, as far as the easylink or comfort half-link is concerned, I knew how to do that. It's more of the latter, and I just wished Rolex would have adopted the sub concept where no tools are needed to move from slot to slot. Again, thank you!"
In the realm of possibility, I will not be surprised that one day, the clasp of a Daytona can be adjusted tool-free. In the same way I hope that one day, respectful discourse will rule RWI, and the intolerant and arrogant discourse will be far and few in between.

Got it, but imo the Glidelock is such an improvement for a watch they should make it as an option when buying it.
you‘re right its a divers feature but how many People wear it for Diving? I would guess most never go with it under the shower.
I‘d say a Daytona is more used as regular watch than as a racing watch.
Maybe this is the point here

Well said bro. Sick of the unrespectful force feeding of the only right way.
