commented on Micro-adjustments: On-the-fly vs. traditional ยท

SWATCH Group have implemented a nicer version of these ratcheting clasps in brands like Mido and Certina. I have to say, I donโ€™t care if there is a small gap in the clasp.

I much prefer not having to remove my watch to adjust the clasp. I do really like all the extra engineering that goes into some of the other clasp styles, though.

And it has double the water resistance? Whatโ€™s not to love!

TGV for nostalgia sake, but I also really like Youโ€™re Terrific. Great dry humor, right up my alley lol.

Same! Iโ€™ve had a few watches with screw links that ended up having issues right from the factory. Loosening up on its own or not at all

commented on EastCoastWatchConnection's WRUW ยท

Mido uses this clasp on their 200c as well, but that bracelet goes even further with screw links. The links are too thin to use screw links for on this one. Mido is certainly closer to Longines in quality than they are with Tissot or Hamilton.

Itโ€™s all about the nomenclature.
