Question for the guys who wear heavy chains

[haven_seeker]

Right now my daily wearer is a 60g 18K curb chain just like this:



It has a heavy lobster clasp which is easy to operate.

I'm considering upgrading to a 175g 18K curb chain. Both chains are 22" and sit at a comfortable height. This chain instead has a box clasp with 2 side safety figure 8's.

I was considering, if I purchase it, to delete the box clasp (slide-in spring piece) and just go to a heavy lobster clasp. There is also a small safety chain installed on it as well...this I would leave alone.

Getting back to the clasp proposition...Would that be a stupid move?

I should add for clarity: I wear the chain every single day, taking it off only to go to bed, and putting it on immediately in the morning.
