Will Rolex Replica EasyLink Fit on Genuine?

Hi, has anyone tried fitting a Rolex replica EasyLink into a Genuine Rolex?

I'm asking because I've done this taking from a gen Explorer to gen Oyster Perpetual 34" 114200. Others have confirmed the 16mm EasyLink will also work for the 36mm and 39mm Oysters too!

The problem, is that Rolex won't let me order this $80 link without owning an Explorer I... and even then you must trade-in with an authentic broken EasyLink.

If anyone has done any other similar combinations even between replicas or maybe with the GlideLock I'd be interested to hear.


Here is what the EasyLink looks like,

I see no reason why it wouldn't work. Many rep models come with them, even ones with a regular oyster (non flip lock) clasp. And you've seen my post about using a rep Glidelock on my gen GMT. So I would try it with confidence.

Thanks KJ2020, I’ll look for your thread and post it here.

Hoping to hear from others on the forum if there was any hands-on success.

That's awesome KJ2020!

Here's an interesting authentic custom bracelet posted on the rolex forum to get glidelock on the Black Bay 58. It's something I'd like to try with replica first....

Rolex 93150 bracelet with endlinks from the BB58 bracelet with swapped in a glidelock clasp from a Rolex 97200 bracelet...

Note pictures did not work... see next post.

Thanks for the follow-up! Where did you get that replica easylink? I have been literally searching for one (without purchasing a whole bracelet) for months.

All TDs can source clasps. Their willingness to do so can depend on your established relationship and the size of your order. Buy a watch and also ask for an extra clasp. It's always worked for me.

Thank you for your suggestion, I'll try that route.
Please note that I am not looking for the whole clasp though, I am looking only for the "easylink" link (if that makes sense), to put in an existing clasp

Cheers

I bought an easy link from WSO. Unfortunately, the threaded hole on the link was too small for the screw.
