Differences between traditional and milled clasps

[sheldonsmith]

One of the significant differences between the traditional "tuna-can" clasps and the newer milled clasps found on the updated TOGs, Milgauss, GMTs is that it is easy for having four links on the 6:00 o'clock side.

This is a real benefit for 6.5" wrists.

The GMT-C bracelet on the left has four links, whereas the traditional GMT has the minimum five links. The only way to get four links on a traditional oyster bracelet is to have an AD pertinently remove a link.

My SubDate 16610 has 4 Links on the 6 o´clock side - just as in your photo does the GMT2c

Yes, good point, but on the Subs, there are four full links, than a 1/2 link riveted to the clasp.
