What kind of “thought” has gone into the Oyster bracelet? Its design hasn’t changed for decades. Other than adding PCLs, which isn’t exactly a lot of effort?
Agreed on the clasp, I like that it’s smaller and more elegant. It’s a nice clasp indeed. I do like having micro adjustment but I can live without it.

The biggest issue with the bracelet is the lack of taper. It makes the width of the clasp too large, and a chunky bracelet is the opposite of elegant. It would wear so much nicer if they tapered it more. Start at 20mm and go down to 16mm. It’s a winning formula.
