Default Deployant clasp or standard buckle......

Hi AA'ers
When wearing your watch on a fine gator strap, do you prefer the standard buckle or a deployant clasp.

All of my strap watches are on either a single fold or a butterfly deployant clasp. The deployant clasp really does save wear and tear on the strap.

Standard Buckle is cheaper. DB Buckle is more expensive. Between the 2, I prefer the DB buckle IF its standard issue, prettier!

I like single fold because it reduces the amount of metal on my wrist (really sensitive skin).

I like DB because it is very easy and fast to open and close but it makes the whole strap much more rigid on some models so you loose the nice flexibility of a leather strap....
