Strap width on Rollies

[housemouse]

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.

I believe those models are 20MM.

[housemouse]

All three?

The Explorer I is a fair bit smaller than the other two...

20 MM is correct in my reference book barring the 5500 which is 19mm whats the model number?

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.

20mm it is, groovy, thanks.

One last query -

Do the Vintage Explorer I models, such as linky also take a 20mm strap?

Thanks

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.

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...

6610 is a 20mm.

Thanks, I assume from that the model I linked to on Wo-mart is a 6610...?
