Strap difference

[WatchWeb]

What is the difference between this strap http://www.rolex.com/en/rolex-watche...m-m116622-0001 and this strap http://www.rolex.com/en/rolex-watche...m116610ln-0001 apart from the middle being shiny ?

I can see that one is dull and one is shiny. Are there any benefits to either strap for either comfort or sturdiness ?.

Still researching before my first Rolex purchase but just wondering apart from the looks are there any other difference?.

Which do you prefer & why ?.

Those are two different watches with different bracelets, however, when you are wearing one, you won't notice any major difference in comfort

The Yachtmaster uses a standard flip-lock clasp bracelet with polished center links..

The Sub Date uses a Glidelock clasp and a fully brushed link-set.

Ah ok thanks.

I wasn't sure if the polished centre of the yachmaster was a weaker metal with it not feeling the same as the outer sides.
