JLC deployant help, single vs. double fold

 
 By: KtownGreg : January 6th, 2010-11:26
I have the single fold deployant clasp but it isn't as comfortable as a tang due to it riding on my radius. I was wondering if this has been improved with the double (butterly) clasp design. Greg

I have the MC GMT with the stainless steel band - I do find it to be very comfortable (absolutely love the watch!). I was a previous owner of an Amvox I with the leather strap and deployment buckle. It indeed was less comfortable for me. --sancerre

...that doublefolds is shorter so it should be more comfortable. My JLC MUT was delivered with it and I am very happy with it. I have also read that some people put the strap at six o'clock at twelve and vice versa, and in that manner changes the position... 

I have both styles...

And the double fold is much better in terms of comfort than the single fold is. Cheers, Al

I only know the double fold...

If you have a narrow wrist, you may need a new strap with customized dimensions....

Well, I would break the consensus

I have both of these folds, the simple and the double... I much prefer the single to the double, as I find it more comfortable, and the metal of the fold is matching with the metal of the case of your watch. For example, if you have a platinum watch, the ... 

I've had both..........

Single fold and double fold and without a doubt I prefer the double fold I have now on my MUT. For me it is far more comfortable. D in W

take the strap off and invert it, so that it folds "up" the way a bracelet would. This is how JLC used to mount them, but changed in '02/'03. The new way rides on the bone behind the thumb. The only minor downside will be that the logo will be upside-down...
