Differences between traditional and milled clasps
One of the significant differences between the traditional "tuna-can" clasps and the newer milled clasps found on the updated TOGs, Milgauss, GMTs is that it is easy for having four links on the 6:00 o'clock side. This is a real benefit for 6.5" wrists. The GMT-C bracelet on the left has four links, whereas the traditional GMT has the minimum five links. The only way to get four links on a traditional oyster bracelet is to have an AD pertinently remove a link.

I found it that Subs have the same number of links as the GMT-II C in your picture.
Even thought Sub is a little bit thicker, because of the shorter 6 o'clock bracelet, it actually sits better on my wrist than my GMT and Expy II.
