I'm one of those guys who swells during the day, so the MM300 clasp might be worth it for the adjustability. I know it's a trade off with thickness, but it just may allow more comfort overall..... :scratch:
I end up doing that on hot days as well. I usually go with a strap during these times, but the ratchet extension is handy when the bracelet is equipped.

I'm talking about my wrist.... :clap:

Not sure what you mean, but here is the MM300 clasp. The one on it now has polished sides, so I'd polish the sides on the MM300 one to match. Mine has a dive extension at the front, but lacks micro-adjustments, other than the four holes for the pin like most clasps. You can kind of see it in this other pic.

For some reason I found myself really studying the MM clasp. I glanced at my wrist and I realized I had mine on right now. :lol:

That does look more robust than the Monster verison. Cool, thanks.

Looks great Hoppy. It seems even larger then 42mm, surely looks larger then the Shogun?

I tried the Isofrane, but wasn't sold on the look. Might try again tonight.

Thanks.

Its actually really close to the Shogun in all dimensions, but this one has lugs that curve down more than the Shogun. Would likely wear better on a smaller wrist. I think the all black bezel, together with the dial that has markers out the edge (as opposed to dots set out from the edge) work together to give it a larger appearance.

Hey, the 015 Tuna comes with one!
