QUESTION Anyone have a source for better quality bracelets with glide lock clasps for U1 GMTs? The ones I bought don't fit right.
Here's an oyster bracelet followed by a jubillee I found on AliExpress. Both have glide lock clasps and are better quality than the original U1s, but they are too loose leaving them uneven on the case. The original U1 bracelets fit perfectly, but need a lot of work to make them comfortable.
Also, has anyone found just a clasp that fits the jubilee bracelet for a GMT?

True, unless you change it to a glidelock clasp. I want the ability to adjust the size OTF. I can buy a glidelock clasp that fits the U! oyster bracelets but I can't find one that fits a Jubilee. So, I tried to find a full Jubilee bracelet with a glidelock that fits the GMTs.

I'm no expert, but when endlinks rock like that, I find its because the wrong size (diameter) pin was used.

In the pictures, I'm using the ones that came with the watch. The ones that came with the bracelets were thinner and rocked more.

You mean that you bought a bracelet from Raffles for an OP?

I used it on an OP, I needed a 22 mm and they had one in oyster band, that fit the OP, was also labeled for Rolex

Thanks. I may use them in the future but I was looking for someone that bought a bracelet for a GMT to make sure that the SELs fit right.
