Speedmaster with White Dial
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 Brian |

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

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

This is what I've gathered:
Pro - 20mm Date and Day/Date - 19mm Reduced - 18mm Please confirm with a ruler... |

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!!!!

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