fuplayer 3 Posted April 25, 2013 The different manufacturers have put out some very nice reps of the sub-c. Noob, BP, both with their flaws as evidenced on this board. I have purchased many in the last year all from TD's, however, I've yet to find a decent GL clasp. Even the ones I received from BK have challenges. This is something I hope the factories will address and hope it's an easy fix, but currently detracts from a nice product. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

frogflyer 6 Posted April 25, 2013 Yes, please describe the issues your having with the clasp? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JDCROUSE 0 Posted April 25, 2013 I had a problem with my clasp not locking. I would lock it into place, let it go, and the weight of the band would unlock it. So I assume this is a common issue? JD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
frogflyer 6 Posted April 25, 2013 I've had three different watches with this clasp with no problems. This is interesting, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fuplayer 3 Posted April 25, 2013 I've had problems with the clasp not locking, not very smooth moving back and forth adjusting, and once in place very difficult to release. I've had to take the pliers to a couple. Believe me I know these are reps and appreciate their value but this is the problem I've encountered the most.

SSTEEL 0 Posted April 25, 2013 It is a common problem, and a well known one too. You guys should think yourselves lucky as I too have had a bad GL, but luckily my TD at the time sent me a replacement bracelet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JDCROUSE 0 Posted April 25, 2013 I told my TD about it, he asked me to send him a video of the issue, and after he watched it, told me to send it back. There's a reason why there's a TD list. :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SSTEEL 0 Posted April 25, 2013 I did the same, re: video, but was sent a replacement bracelet which saved me hassle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Libertatia 0 Posted April 27, 2013 My BP sub glide lock doesn't work. You can't even open it to allow it to glide. But tbh it doesn't matter as its the right size anyway Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HeavyKrush 16 Posted April 27, 2013 The opposite happened to me, when I first used it its smoothness and reliability surprised me. Ditto. Have (3) and all work well. Had to "squeeze" in the edges on one but that was just cosmetic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scorpion 0 Posted April 27, 2013 No issues with the 2 on DSSDs I have had, both worked with amazing smoothness and no play. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zero_deficit 0 Posted April 27, 2013 One solution suggested is that from the bottom edge you try to bend the sides of the clasp. Use a vice or something so you don't go overboard with the bending .. half a centimetre should be more than enough. Someone over on RG had a picture tutorial iirc that seemed to fix it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sjors 0 Posted June 18, 2013 Few weeks ago, i've ordered a Submariner hulk from Joshua, with the same problem. The glide lock didn't lock... Asked if he could send me a new one. And he did, got it today. But still the same problem, it just won't lock into place... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dr_Rolex 3 Posted July 5, 2013 I had a problem with my clasp not locking. I would lock it into place, let it go, and the weight of the band would unlock it. So I assume this is a common issue? JD ive had this problem too with one GL clasp i had when i bought another it did not have that problem so im guessing some have issues and some dont. however nothing a good watchsmith cant fix Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
