You won't find it on Google. That linked thread took considerable research, including multiple phone calls to ADs in different locales.
Wow - what an effort! Thanks for doing this...

AFAIK Rolex never advertised the case change in 2017 that included the lug width increase. So no wonder it isn't widely known. The newer cases are a really nice improvement IMO. No contest for me.
I agree: the new case shape and therefore also lug width suits the watch much better. The whole design is just not for me. Ultimately, it is supposed to be a tool watch in the dress of a Day-Date?!

That is how some prominent reviewers have described it.


"Overall, this watch could be considered to be almost like a cross between a GMT-Master II and a Day-Date President, with the added functionality of an annual calendar complication."

How can anyone not want one of these beauties, haha
