Because it wouldn't be as secure which is the whole point of the oyster (sporty) bracelet

On my bracelet, if I catch a basketball, assuming it's being passed with some "stank on it" will pop open. Clapping "excitedly" will also cause it to open..... just a couple examples of why..... and mine is "pinky loose"...

Sorry I meant to include in my original post oyster with double clasp. Oyster on the DJ2 and milgauss is kind of the same as concealed clasp I suppose. I was referring to oyster double clasp

I get that, but we are talking about Rolex here. I would think they could come up with an as secure hidden clasp, not simply use a President bracelet clasp on a oyster..

You would also lose the advantage of having micro-adjustment on that style bracelet.
