Datejust 41 Jubilee clasp, lack of thought!?

I assume you're responding to me...

That SJ clasp is totally nonfunctional and prone to breaking, with zero second level retention capability. It was a very "not Rolex" design, all show no go, and I'm glad it went away. Hopefully they get rid of the non-adjustable Presidential clasp as well.

I have a 5 digit datejust with the old clasp and it doesn't bother me. Would I prefer a hidden clasp, maybe, but not a deal breaker.

i think its very ugly. Looks like a modified job. Rest of watch is perfect!

Aside from the question, why one would do it, and the concerns of associated cost, has any considered or researched the possibility of switching the DJ41 clasp to that of the hidden clasp, with adding a few links?
