You chose a dive watch. Comparing the sub vs the speedmaster isn’t really a fair comparison. They are so different. The speedmaster isn’t a dive watch, people are putting seamaster clasps on them. There is really no reason for omega to put 6 adjustments on a speedmaster standard , that’s close to 3 full links on a watch that’s not waterproof/resistant.

You could easily get away with the smaller version of the clasp with 3 adjustments or about a link and a half. That should be standard.
