Guys aside from aesthetics & the ability to pop the bracelet out quicker, what would you prefer?

Sorry guys, need to transfer this post to the general discussion category.

I have both, and it makes no difference IMO. I was told the SEL was less comfortable due to it's ridgedness compared to non-SEL, but I really can't tell.

I prefer the more-secure lug hole watch!!!

Long live LUG-HOLES

Lug holes++

Easy to tell if a springbar is wearing/bending. Easy to remove bracelet for cleaning without scratches. Easy to switch to a NATO for diving or other activities. I definitely also prefer the "tool watch" appearance of the holes.

I prefer my watches without the lug holes, it's a nice touch but wouldn't mind any watches with lug holes either.

I think the SEL's (if we're talking about 16710's) started in '00, but the lugh-holes phased out after the "Y" serial?

I like 'em.
