And sorry, the new bracelets (I have one) FEEL better, but are not actually stronger. Remember it’s the pins that hold them together. The light weight actually serves to keep the watch weight down as they were tools. Now the 6 digit references which are primarily jewelry, people want the heft as they associate that with value. Pure marketing gimmick. I am one of the few here that do everything and I mean everything with my Rolex, the lighter weight means my watch is not flopping around so much. My 16610 has 4 fine adjustments on it. I have never had a problem getting a stellar fit.

Good comment, but I feel the light bracelet combined with a heavy watch head (16600 for me) is specifically what makes it flop around. Could not find the right adjustment.
Love the new easylink feature (hear the even better glidelock is awesome!)
I do agree tho, the new models are more fashion and luxury items.
