Question about lug distance

Background: I'm trying to determine the appropriate bracelet size for a 36mm Tudor. Eventually, I will get a TT jubilee to put on it.

So the question really is, Is it possible to say that "if you have a 36 mm head the distance between the lugs will be x mm"?

Thanks for the info.

Greg

Yes. If you have an Oyster case that is 36 mm, it is 20 mm between the lugs, and if the case is 34 mm it is 19 mm.

Remember to get the correct end links!

Best,

A

Thanks Anders, I really appreciate your time.

I feel foolish asking my next question, what end links do I need? The head does have lug holes. The current bracelet does have curved end links, (but doesn't every bracelet have curved end pieces since the head itself is curved?

Again, thank you for your time and the information.

Greg,

All end links are curved, but they have different height, following the profile of the case, and the position of the lug holes. I do not know all the end links used by Tudor. Post the reference number of your watch, and hopefully someone knowing this better than me will give you a comment.

Best,

A

In the library we have a band section which will tell you what Rolex case goes to what end piece.

I'm sorry I do not know the proper end link reference. It came with a folded, gold plated Tudor Jubilee originally, but I would say that a Rolex Jubilee would go fine too. It is all about the end links for a perfect fit!

Good luck!

Best,

A
