2024 Oyster Bracelet… something different

I noticed on my new Sub, the removable links have a pin hole on the opposite side to the screw… this is not on my GMT bracelet… and I haven’t seen them before.

Also the relief of the ridge on the clasp is much shallower on the glidelock clasp than I’m used to on the various PM and SS Subs, YM and GMTs I’ve had before… is this a new bracelet? Anyone else seen this? Maybe I’m just not used to newer oyster bracelets?

WG GMT clasp photo for comparison. And I’m not talking about the fact is brushed not polished just feels a lot sharper and shallower…

My Sub Date from late 2022 looks exactly like the pictures.

Looks fine . The pin holes are just where the other end of the screws end. There are watch bracelets, that are solid, on the opposite end of the screw. The open ends allows Rolex to apply Loctite in the hole to further secure the screws. I see nothing wrong with your bracelet.
Relax!

Yes I knew there was nothing wrong, I’m very relaxed was just starting a conversation on whether it had been updated in particular related to the sub clasp. But based on the other reply I guess not since 2022.

I have 4 other Rolexes and have had 15 over the years, PM and Steel, I have never noticed the holes before, but it’s my mistake.

Checked my others and it seems these are only on Steel watches, my PM oyster bracelets don’t have holes but my Milgauss does. They’re not for example on my WG GMT bracelet. Although maybe that’s a GMT thing… although I’m pretty sure they’re weren’t on the White Gold sub I had previously, although I don’t have it anymore to check.

I’d clip and clean those nails, never mind your watch strap …
