Thanks! Good pic! Our fellow member Dave O posted this subsequently. I just played with a measuring tape against my standard clasp

And I guess i'll weigh in on my overall impression... I love the standard clasp and found the sub glidelock to be too large for my wrist. Folks love it, and I understand why it just took up way too much real estate on the bottom of my wrist.

With that said, i'm all in on the new daytona OF's. I think the slight differently is helpful and solidified my clearly overthought decision. I'll post comparison pics, with a ruler, when I can get my hands on one.
