[Discussion] what is the point of male endlinks? (alien.top)

I don't really why watch makers incorporate male endlinks when female endlinks make the watches fit a lot better. Also, male endlinks increase the actual lug to lug making the watches fit larger than it actually is.

Is there any practical reason behind using male endlinks over female endlinks? Is it cheaper to manufacture? Or, do they like the look of them on certain watches?

Yeah, and we can't expect little companies like Rolex, Swatch, LVMH and Richemont to be able to machine an extra part on a $10,000 watch.
