housemouse Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 Just about to pull the trigger on my first rep. Am planning to go with a nato black or olive strap and just wondering what the strap width of various Rolex models would be. Nato straps are generally available in 18, 20, 22 and I think 24mm widths - will I be able to get a nice snug fit with the following watches and what are the strap widths for each model? : Sub Explorer II Explorer I Thanks.

tonyp1 Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 I believe those models are 20MM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
housemouse Posted May 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 All three? The Explorer I is a fair bit smaller than the other two... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyp1 Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 (edited) 20 MM is correct in my reference book barring the 5500 which is 19mm whats the model number? Edited May 22, 2007 by tonyp1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfreeman420 Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 5500 is a vintage model. All the modern Rolexes have 20mm lug width. The only other vintage with 19mm lugs is the 6263/6265 and the date models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
housemouse Posted May 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 20mm it is, groovy, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
housemouse Posted May 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 One last query - Do the Vintage Explorer I models, such as linky also take a 20mm strap? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfreeman420 Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 I'm not sure about that one. The site says it is 37mm but I thought the gen was 34mm. If it is indeed 34mm I believe it would take 19mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
housemouse Posted May 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 Hang on... This watch appears to be the precise model I am looking at buying: linky But the description there is 35mm case diameter... Erk. I want to get a NATO strap for the watch and as far as I can see they do 18mm and 20mm but not 19mm... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyp1 Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 6610 is a 20mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
housemouse Posted May 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 Thanks, I assume from that the model I linked to on Wo-mart is a 6610...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
