Gary is correct (and always has been)

SS Daytonas have asymetric cases. The right hand lugs are notably thinner than the left. This picture below (and explanation from Rolex) makes it abundantly clear.

Its why I don't particularly like them. I cannot unsee the lack of symmetry.

All of the PM cases (except the YG on oyster) have completely symmetrical cases (making them 1mm larger in cases size) and the lugs curve down more too. I'll try and find a picture of that aspect.
