Does Super Jubilee have Micro Adjustments?

Thinking about getting a Super Jubilee bracelet for my GMT II. I know that the regular Jubilee bracelet has Micro Adjustments, but does the Super??

nope with the super you have to actually remove links since it uses the hidden clasp like the presidents

Do you find this to be less than ideal?

for my situation, no. I love the super jubilee and the good thing is that the size it comes at is perfect for my wrist. It definitely feels more solid than a older jubilee. Hidden clasps is my favorite style out of the rolex clasps

a minor set back in an otherwise perfect bracelet! Their comfort makes up for that lack of micro adjustment I think!

Is the Super Jubilee any different, comfort wise, than the regular Jubilee?

Als, how difficult is it to add or remove a link on the Super?

I personally prefer the comfort of the old jubilee compared to the super jubilee. Owning both types of bracelets on different Datejust pieces I must also add that the "look" and "feel" of the super jubilee surpasses the older jubilee. It's a matter of what you are going for "look/feel" or comfort.

Not very difficult at all. Did it myself without issues.
With 1 link off, its a bit loose and 2 links off, a bit tight.
Wonder if there are 1/2 links available!?!
.
edit
I just saw on an older post, ref to a 1 1/2 link....-
