Fliplock Clasp... Opinions Anyone?

[Sixshooter]

I am by no means trying to start any debate here, just some good perspective. My question is, why is the fliplock clasp so looked down upon? I have seen the newer glidelock clasp in person but haven't personally worn one. Only other Rolex clasp I have worn for any period is the hidden clasp on my fathers Platinum DD. So, I'm curious... Why is the new glidelock clasp so much better than the old clasp? I understand simple extensions and retractions are much easier, but what else? And bear in mind both my watches have the ol' fliplock on them, and they work great for me. I'm just wondering if it's been in use since the 50's why are they seen as an inferior clasp when they have worked so well all these years? And yes I understand the way they are put together doesn't seem up to par with the rest of the watch in terms of quality. Yet mine have performed flawlessly for me. I am just curious to hear others opinions. So shoot, and sorry for the lack of brevity...
