Having gone to school for Rolex watch making and repair I can say this is a pretty good video but I would like to add a 2 things. 1) invest in a watch block. These are relatively inexpensive and provide far more confidence when adding / removing links as it will steady the watch thus allowing you to use both hands on the screw driver (one to turn and one to steady the shank) 2) we were thought to size glide lock clasps with the mechanism in a neutral position with a bias to outward adjustments with the exception being if the client intended on using the glide lock exclusively as the divers /wet suit extension and not for daily in the fly adjustment

Very helpful. My 1985 16800 has never had a screw removed, so knew it would be tight. Hair dryer worked perfectly. Have seen a blow torch recommended...WTF! On a $15000 watch! Screwdriver fit properly, used a holder base to hold the bracelet and pressed down while using fingers from both hands to turn. Came out pretty easily. Thanks for the video!

Awesome video, thanks

Now when you’re walking with the watch on, doesn’t it eventually fall on to your wrist/hand? I feel like my sub is either too tight or too loose.

Long time no see my friend Always enjoy any of your reviews no matter the brand I must admit I'm a bit of a sucker for two tone watches and this one just might find a new home in the collection Thanks for sharing as always and Be well 👍

Is it normal the bracelet squeaks so loudly?

[@MandarKasture]

Yes it does. I just got the 2024 model and the bracelet squeaks a lot compared to my older one

Why does the Rolex guide recommend starting on the 6 o clock side?

[@SecretMan299]

thanks informative video,.. just want to clarify for jubilee bracelet size of screw please, I have a 36 mm and 26 mm jubilee bracelet... thanks

[@sayoshinakamario]

I’m in the position where if I remove a link it’s too tight but if I leave it it’s too loose 😢

I have an 7 inch wrist, that's 9 setting on the glide lock, I'm on number 6 setting from the lowest, 6 o'clock side have 4 link and 12 o'clock have 5 link, can I add a link on the 6 o'clock side to get the lowest setting on the glide lock?

[@wcarterjohnson]

Sure you can. It's your watch. But if you make it where your maxing out the glidlock it will prematurely wear out your braclet.

[@cmichael2005]

I went to RSC, and they add 1 link on the 12 o'clock side and took out the half link on the glide lock side, now I'm on 3rd lowest from the 9th setting. It looks balance out .@@wcarterjohnson
