I am ordering my watch tomorrow and want to make sure of the band I want. I want a brown croc band but understand it has two different options of buckle, what are the two options called? I want the one that opens like a butterfly, not the slide through the buckle and pick a hole.
I live in a rural area so i am not driving to the store to order.
Thanks for all help.

The butterfly is called a deployment and the other is a standard tang closure.

thanks is there anywhere on the web that i could see a pic? also is the deployment band a better band? It seems like it would last a lot longer.

Personally, I find the deployant clasps to be much more comfortable and easier to take on/off. It also saves the leather from getting cracked and worn quickly from constant bending and stretching, as you might find with the tang style.
