No question. Fold-over is easier to get on and off of the wrist. Plus it tends to look tidier.
I'm a deployant guy and the Omega style deployants are very good.
Frankly, I like the Omega rubber straps much more than their bracelets.
I have the OEM rubber with deployant on my AT Small Seconds. It’s fantastic.
Deployant all day long.
i dont mind some deployants but some really dig into my wrist cough seiko cocktail presage cough which is why i prefer tang buckle
I might go buckle and tang just to have both types in my Omega collection.
Another vote for the Omega deployant. I have one on a 41mm AT and its fantastic.
fold over is bulky and heavier and is designed to look like a buckle anyway.
The buckle and tang are actually getting 26%? This is like the best and most comfortable deployant ever.

I have one on my Seamaster 300M and it's awesome. Same setup as the one on the AT Worldtimer I used to own.
The Aqua Terra on OEM rubber with fold over deployant is my daily wear. So you know what my vote is. Super comfortable and versatile.
I got what GoingTopShelf has and that Omega rubber strap is so comfortable. You will love it. Singe foldover deployments are best. Butterfly deployment clasps are for the birds.
For me, in addition to the cleaner look, I chose deployant clasp over buckle because it eliminate the risk of dropping the watch accidentally.
I'm a buckle and tang guy, but I don't tend to use many OEM straps.
I had buckle and tangs on the Seamaster Diver 300’s that came on the watches. They were okay, but I like to swap straps a lot. Then, today, I took delivery of an Aqua Terra small seconds that has the fold over deployant. Wow I love this over a buckle and tang!

Have the same AT and love it.
Deployant has dipped below 70% for the first time. Interesting.
Went with the buckle and tang to diversify a bit in the Omega collection. i really like it, too.

I like them, but they can really fuck up the side of a leather strap if one is not careful
