I think the 19mm bracelet / lug width looks great. Proportions well to the nice (in my eye) more solid lug look and doesn't look large compared to the dial.

I would like 1mm increase in size to the clasp width. It would reduce the taper, which I actually currently like, but I'd like to see it at least. Overall I'm super happy with my 124270, but agree that it was the strongest first impression to me that the clasp was too small, but I'm coming from a sub 41 with its MASSIVE glidelock.

I'm not a fan of the latest one because of the case
Regardless, it would be too small for me to consider wearing anyway

Yeah...I’d love to see a profile view of the 124270 and 114270 to compare the case sides.
