Glidelock Bracelet for 5 Digit Sub Question.

[Jackster]

Hi Guys,

So, I have a Gen 5 digit Sub (14060M) with the usual sardine tin bracelet. I also have a 6 digit VSF 124060 with the Glidelock bracelet.
Being summer down here in the arse end of the world I find my wrist size changes quite dramatically throughout the day, so much so that I have pretty much stopped wearing the 5 didit. So my obvious thought was to replace the bracelet with something like a Ginault Ocean Rover 2 bracelet. Are there any other options available to achieve this combination? Would probably prefer a clasp with a Rolex logo but not a dealbreaker?

Thanks all and HNY

Good morning,

I got a handful of the Glidelock clasps Clean uses on their OysterFlex Daytonas. They should work on any standard 20 mm Rolex bracelet.

Let me know if you are interested - I can let you know how to get one...

You can’t fit a SEL bracelet on a 14060. The case is lacking the notch between lugs that make it possible on a 16610.
You can fit a 6 digit clasp on the 93150 bracelet though

I even fit the non logo'd Rolex style 6 digit glide lock clasps on some of my other brand watches.

Sometimes needs the holes in the bracelet easing out, so buy a few teeny drill bits like 0.5mm to 1.5mm sizes

Use the ginault bracelet and don't look back. It's the best option by far. You can change the clasp if desired.

It won’t fit a 14060 (Again)

News to me / what are you basing this on?

Ginault Ocean Rover cases are basically 5-digit cases, and the bracelet/case fit fine and it's been documented multiple times (on RWI, Rolex Forums, Reddit etc.), so not sure what is missing here...if you have a gen-spec 5 digit case, it absolutely will fit

See this example from TimeZone

Hmm, a little confused here, is that because the Ginault will only fit a 16610 and not a 14060.
I like the idea of just swapping out the clasp but as long as I dont have to modify the gen bracelet in any way,,, thanks for the input people.

You're just repeating what you're saying, but the picture I posted would suggest otherwise.

Maybe the end link fit isn't perfect, but that doesn't mean it wouldn't work

Yes but that is a 16610 not a 14060... i think this is the issue??

That is like saying "Carlos Fandango" super wide wheels fit on my car, but the tyres scrape on the wheel arches when I go over bumps and round corners

Yes. 16610 and 14060 cases are different

Circled in red the notch needed to fit a SEL bracelet (and the lack of it on a 14060 case) :

If you don’t want to modify your gen bracelet you can try the so called « Italian » 93150 bracelet (this seller sell only the band here: https://www.ebay.fr/itm/163975598976) and put a glide lock clasp on it

Would any mod of the bracelet be needed do you know?

Going to buy a 20mm Glidelock of @Fabulously hopefully problem solved!

Is this what you recommend for a 16610? Ginault Bracelet https://ginault.com/shop/gen-ii-94530g-bracelet/ I have an ARF 16610 and want a solid bracelet pin it. Thanks
