Hi guys, I have a question re a rep bracelet for my Gen Sub…
For the past four years I been wearing my 14060M on a rep 93150 using my Gen HEL
I keep the Gen bracelet in the safe as it’s in mint condition and should I ever sell my sub it will go with an as new bracelet.
Unfortunately the rep bracelet wore out so I want to replace it, I would like to use a Glidelock in the next rep bracelet only all new bracelets have SEL and are not suitable for my Watch head.
So is my only solution to purchase a new sardine tin bracelet and a seperate Glidelock and replace the tinny clasp with the Glidelock?
Any suggestions would be greatfully received.

Can you post a pic of what clasp you want since I am not familiar with your numbers quoted. I buy loads of Glidelocks to update the shite sardine tin clasps that come on some of the cheaper stuff I buy. They are nice quality Glidelocks, and have Crown and Engravings as per, they are cheap enough yet not shite from the seller I use.

Pixels from my current stock just in case one of these is wotya after, but they do do loads of others, I currently keep SS Polished Centre and SS Brushed Centre :-

Thanks Dave, I would go with a brushed guidelock not sure at this point to mix and match or just go for a good quality Italian 93150? Damn thoug, wished I’d known coz just bought a glidelock off DH Gate and is probably gonna be a shitter! 🤣 Ill think on and let you know if I’m interested and we can do a WTB sale through the proper channels.

Hey bud you can get a vs glidelock here:

Received one recently with a 5HF clasp code, much better quality than some of the hit and miss stuff on Alix..

For the bracelet depending on how much you want to spend, you can either go Italian bracelet (around €300) or something like this from raffles ($40):

You can always sell the Italian clasp on m2m easily..

@Jackster

I'm not trying to sell you one, (but I will at cost if yer stuck), if that is what you want I was gonna give you a linky here to the seller on Ali Express, since he has already been vetted by me spending a few magic beans ;)

I have a feeling the packet post from Jockland to Aussie will cost more than the fuckin' clasp though :ROFLMAO:

Depends who ya buy from on Ali, the ones in your link look great too, but they definitely do not look nor feel any different aside from the price and clasp code itself.

I know that because I bought one to replace a broken clasp last December, then I found a decent Alix seller and wouldn't buy from anywhere else now ;)

Yeah I’ve had a couple of good ones on Ali, nicely finished, no sharp edges, think they’re old noob ones but then also had one which was a bastard fake of a fake and sharp as hell on the edges.. so thought I’d try from buysrtap..

I 100% agree with that, and should my current supplier disappear I would have no hesitation in buying from buystrap, although being a tight fisted git I do think that it's worth taking an educated punt on things sometimes ;)

I have bought some absolute nuggets of watches from DHG, but also out of around 8 DHG pieces so far, (which I only buy when no TD's have certain models), I have had a couple of items that are bottom of the barrel shall we say ;) ......................

However between Mel and I we have 7 children and too many teenage grand kids to remember (circa 20 IIRC), so they make ideal Christmas prezzies if I won't give them a display cabinet space o_O

ATM I have been back at the Reps now for around 6 months, and am still learning as I spend :D
I could do far worse with my disposable cash :ROFLMAO:

OK Guys I'll look it up when I'm on my workshop desktop tommoz and forward it to ya's (y)
So, I feel I’m quite late to this party and sorry for the necropost, but I’d love to get info on that Ali seller with decent glidelocks as I have a new 16610LN that will look superb with one of these. Can you PM that please?

The sellers do come and go, all you need to do is make sure that there is a selectable option for "LOGO"

I still have a few in stock so haven't ordered since then, as I'm now buying other makes because I have around 20 Rolexes now lol.

HTH
