There is 1 screw which is different. The guy at Rolex knew immediate which one we were taking about once we mentioned the shorter screw.

All screws on my DJ 72200 bracelet are the same including the one we are talking about, measuring 15mm (this particular screw is shorter on my Gmt2 78200).


My previous shemas are extracted from Rolex watchmaker documentation (R8 catalog from 2010), the same your AD should use.

Explorer 2 (like Gmt2) is another story (as showed on my previous shema), as Explo2 uses 77210 bracelet with oysterlock.

But as I previously said it's up to you. This will just give you a non perfect finish as the back side hole won't be filled up if you use the shorter screw. It's not a big deal. Maybe you already had the wrong screw on your bracelet.
