Wider you make them then the hole line up is inwards toward watch and thinner you make them brings the hole line up away, but of course flattens the end links a tad so not always 100% filling the aperture (i.e. tiny gap at top of end link).
Tudor Oysterdate 34 came in both 19 and 20mm lug widths of course and you obviously have the 19mm.

Thanks, TuRo. I had a pair of 557s that I laid next to my 361's and they were about 1mm deeper. Same width, and manipulated into the same height, but just a touch different. Now, perhaps these were some cheap aftermarkets...I don't know, I found them in a bag of parts from a long time ago.
I have a 783560 en route with 557's (which seem genuine) and will give these a shot.
