In fact, looking from lug to lug to lug to lug (as though they were four corners) I dare say the size differential actually appears smaller than 2mm, though maybe someone who can take a tape measure to the actual watches can post these dimensions as well? Also, can I assume thickness is roughly comparable?

Oh, and would anyone else be unsurprised if this case became the next home for the GMT, if its current case cannot accommodate the EXP II movement and Rolex decides they only need one dual time movement? Personally I hope they don't, as I want the 3186 to stay in production for decades (to ensure replacement parts for my EXP II 40mm will be around for years and years and years), though it might make operational sense.

I don't know why anyone would want to wear an Exp 2 on a bracelet. The only way I will wear mine is on a NATO!

Mark, the best way IMO is to upload them onto photobucket, the link it onto the post you are making. (can't remember if the photobucket app allows you to upload photos from the iPhone picture library...?!?)

Great work, 3 EXPIIs should return a pretty decent profit :wink:
