Now, before you think they are just the same old Subs with snazzy new dials, you should know that NTH has made significant improvements to thebracelet since the previous release based on customer input, including thicker links, slightly shorter links to improve and comfort, repositioning the center links so that those links can pivot at both ends, oval links with convex-curved inner surfaces, and softer edges. In addition, they have produced a new, sturdier clasp with a chamfered top edge, and twice as many micro-adjustment positions.
