I've never been able to get a 100% comfy fit with the older clasps, especially not in humid weather or cooking near a hot stove.

So with a bit of modern engineering and a screwdriver my wrists no longer feel like they're about to pop off!

Here is what is needed...
1x Glidelock
1x 1/2 link
1x screwdriver
1x 41 year old Submariner

Remove the old clasp

Glidelock and 1/2 link ready to be fitted

Remove stickers
[IMG][linked image][/IMG]

ALL stickers!

Attach clasp to the 6 o'clock side
[IMG][linked image][/IMG]

Attach 1/2 link to the 12 o'clock side
[IMG][linked image][/IMG]

Almost ready
[IMG][linked image][/IMG]

1/2 link going to centre the clasp very nicely
[IMG][linked image][/IMG]

Done!

Next to past candidates

In action

No more sore wrists when cooking!

Anders, what a great photo illustration on how to add the new clasp.

And it certainly fits the bracelet beautifully happy.gif

Regards

Tony
