Having the sturdy and attractive build of an oyster (and in white gold it’s spectacularly hefty and completely counterbalances the weight of the case) but without the massive and obtrusive dive-style clasp is just amazing.

I wish they offered this option (in ss) on all their non-diver oyster bracelet watches. I seem to recall there being a “super jubilee” option on some watches (GMTs and Datejusts, for example?) with similarly concealed clasps. Not sure this is still available.

It’s supplanted the butterfly-clasp bracelet on the Aqua Terra as my new favorite.

Anyway, felt like sharing.

I am an oyster Lover and would rather have one over a President any day. Oysters are soo nice and clanky(I wore mine loose).
