I know, but I still prefer the hidden clasp even if Rolex did it wrong for generations before getting it right for a decade or so and then making it all wrong again

Well, like I said I'm a big fan of the Super Jubilee, as I have one on my DJ 116200 63600. Mine fits me well, regardless of the weather, as I tend to wear my watches loose anyway.

I bought the DJ41 Jub,and traded for Oyster, becuase of no hidden clasp, like I had on an old DJ36.
The easy link on the jubilee, just lost the classic design elements of the hidden clasp.
I believe Rolex could of easily designed a 5mm second notch to accommodate a hidden clasp, but saving it for day\date.

Very disappointed they offer easy link on 36mm Jub’s now.

I much prefer the SJ compared to J. I have both. SJ is much more comfortable and better looking. I don't use the easy link. I feel that many people keep the watch too tight. I live in DC through brutal heat and fly every week. So if any one would need it, I would.
