Oyster Clasp

[Aclockworkblue]

So I was looking at some Oyster bracelets and something seemed a little strange to me coming from Rolex. Maybe you have an opinion.

The Oyster bracelet with the Oysterlock clasp is great. However on just a Oysterclasp they have the "markings" of where the Oysterlock would swing out.

Why would Rolex in your opinion put that cutout there for no real purpose? Just to make it look like an Oysterlock? Seems to me to cheapen it a bit. Am I alone?

They are 2 separate pieces, the clasp part articulates slightly to there is a basis to the design

I own both and prefer the simplicity and slimness of it

Oh so it does move. I didn't notice. that's good to know. I thought it was just an aesthetic design choice.
