Yachtmaster Clasp

I've been looking at Yachtmaster lately and I notice one thing, the clasp. Is it possible in the future, the Yachtmaster will adapt the same clasp as what the 116710LN has? I really like the clasp of the 116710LN, everything is hidden and looks "cleaner" compared to the current Yachtmaster where you can still see the holes.

Fingers crossed

I was hoping the same thing. I know many have replaced the original clasp with the Daytona clasp and it looks amazing! There is actually a Full Size in the FS section with the clasp change.

I do love the older style clasps, in my opinion they are very durable and stand the test of time very well. Sure they may not look as good or as "modern" as the upgraded clasp but I have no complaints on the older clasps and consider it to be a classic design.

Could not agree more with you, Jerome!

I fixed my GMTc clasp on my Yachtmaster. It feels and looks great. I never liked my YM more.
