Over time some models have been given "maxi cases" which are beefier in lug thickness, etc.

Believe me, I have try to discover where they actually measure the case diameter. Apparently Rolex does not communicate via email whatsoever.

A lot of people say that the correct measurement is from 8h to 2h. That's how Patek Philippe does for instance.

And if you measure the case from 8h-2h, you get 40mm in Sub and GMT II and 38.57 in Daytona

And please, here do you measure to see only a .45mm difference?
