Old versus new Explorer 36mm lug width - Rolex response

IMG_4865.jpg

From Rolex customer service:

After further research with our team of technicians, I have found that the lug width for your Explorer Model 124270 is 19mm. Should you need further assistance, please let me know. Have a great day!

Why would Rolex change the lug width from 20 to 19?

Because it looks better, in Rolex’s opinion (and mine, btw).

Your thread got me motivated to check with Rolex. I didn’t want to double up on your post. The goal was to state the facts that you thought to be true. Since I was planning on replacing my DJ black stick dial with the new Explorer, your comments hit home.

Thanks for your response

Was hoping was going to be 20 MM, but does look good on the 19 MM bracelet
