Speedmaster with White Dial

[briansshin]

Hi All,

I joined the Rolex Forums about a month ago with my first Rolex purchase. However, after a short period of time, I got an itch to buy another watch and add it to my collection. I guess this is how the journey begins!

I bought a Speedmaster Automatic (day/date) with a white dial and black subdials. I was in the market for the Apollo 11 35th Anniversary Edition but it's very hard to find. So I guess this will have to do until then..

Switching out the metal band for black plastic... does anyone know what size is the band at the lugs? The exact model no. is 323.30.40.40.04.001

Pretty sure that has 20mm lugs
Also I think it's just a Date and not a Day/Date though...?

Love that watch. Enjoy.

You're right.. it is just the date. Are you sure its a 20mm lug? Its the midsize watch which is smaller than the speedy pro.

I believe the bracelet width is 19mm if I'm not correct?

I have no idea. Does this mean a 20mm wont fit? Can I use an 18mm?

It could be....

This is what I've gathered:

Pro - 20mm
Date and Day/Date - 19mm
Reduced - 18mm

Please confirm with a ruler...

It is 40mm though. I'd be surprised at 18mm

I tried looking all over the net for more information but I can't find anything besides it is 14mm thick....

I don't really ever deal with Speedmasters outside of the Pro so unfortunately I can't give a solid answer

Correct...19mm lugs.

Great addition. It is a slippery slope when you buy your first watch. Lol
Congrats

I went to the Jewelry Store earlier today and found out that this watch is actually 18mm. I hope this helps to whoever reads this post! Thanks!!

Got the exact same watch here....by my measurement it is 19 between the lugs, however it may demand a slightly narrower bracelet/strap end to fit.....so 18 would fit for sure, as to whether it would move a little side to side, who knows until you try.....

Great watch though by the way!!!!

Thanks! You too!

I bought a 18mm strap and it works perfectly. There is no slack.
