 ">>From a manufacturing point, its much more expensive for the screw system. I'd say that's why. I have always associated screwed links with more expensive watches.

Also, lay-people can change the band.<<"

A lay-person who drops $1,000 to $3,000 + for a timepiece generally has someone else size it (Jeweler most often). And, he/she is ulikely to have a set of jewelers screw drivers at home .

What if the lay-person should drop a screw and lose it, now what? You just can't go anywhere and get that screw replaced. Even the jeweler likely won't have one in stock. I just don't think it was created for lay-people's convenience. :)

So, I'm back to square one. Why use them?
