Steel reef links
Anyone have experience with these “on the fly” links? Thinking of getting one for a 5 digit Rolex

Wish I could say yes but I ordered the wrong one 🙄
I have one on my Tudor Black Bay 36 and it’s a complete game changer. Well made, precise tolerances. Highly recommended.
Been wanting one for my Black Bay Chronograph, but they haven't had stock for months.
I've heard good things about them, but if I find an alternative that's readily available, they'll be taking my money.
I got one for my Zenith Chronomaster Sport. After fitting it doesn't stay in place if that makes sense? Once I set it to it's shorter position it will fall out and back to it's longer position. Now, in fairness to Steelreef they sent me out another link that I haven't yet fitted. So that one might be better.

How exactly does it work? It looks like it just flips out to offer some extra length that’s not adjustable further?

Did you find that it worked better than the native micro adjustment?

The native micro-adjust on the CMS requires a pusher tool. It's not on the fly like the Steelreef unit.

Correct, it’s a single 5mm adjustment that snaps into and out of the microadjustment spring bar. If you look at any YouTube video of the Rolex “easy link” that are on many sports model, it’s a direct clone of that. Not as elegant or precise as the glidelock system, but if your wrist swells significantly during activity or warm weather, it gives the ability to have that extra bit of comfort without the need for a tool to adjust.
