Does anyone know if the CHNR lugs like the BLRO or did it remain the same as the BLNR (2018)?

Actually, I do not think there is any difference in the lug width between 116710 and 126710 (regardless of the bezel color). Someone said they were changed, but have yet to see any real measurements that suggest truth to the lug width statement. It may be they were reshaped (like perhaps when seen from the side - similar to how the lug is bigger (and a different shape) on a 116519 WG Daytona for example when compared to a 116500 SS Daytona), but from the top down looking at the lug width, I think they are the same.

Yeah BLNR and ExpII are two very different case sizes (40mm vs 42mm)

I like the brushed oyster on my Explorer 214270. Does anyone know if this bracelet will fit on one of the new GMT models. Thanks to the contributions.

214270 is an Explorer 39mm with 20mm lugs. Its bracelet might fit using the original 126710 springbars but the profile will certainly be off since the Explorer case has a shorter lug height, leaving a large step between the lugs and endlinks.
