Thanks! I was wondering how they got the date wheel to look like it’s in the right spot for such a wide range of dials.

Usually the hole in which the movement sits is about the same size, no matter if the watch is a 36mm or a 44mm, in some cases like the 39mm OP or the Explorer II a larger main plate and/or calender mechanism cover is used to house a larger dial.

In a few watches Rolex uses an enlargement ring to fill in empty space in the case, this is currently in use in the 37mm YM, 34mm & 31mm OP. These use the 2236 movement.
