Explorer 114270 SEL gap

[Dalton121]

I have also asked about the 2mm spring bars and will see if that makes a difference

It looks like Daytona’s suffer from the same gap, will have to check out a new Daytona in-store to see if it compares

See if it will snug up to the case tightly without spring bars. If so, then perhaps it can be adjusted to fit tighter.

Quite honestly though, this wouldn't bother me. Rolexes have undergone changes throughout the years and this tiny bit of space is probably common with many models.

Here’s what mine looks like.

I believe the Daytona and Datejust spring bars are 1.8mm think and for the rest of the Sports models they are 2.0mm thick.

This could be the reason you have the gap.

According to my RSC there is only the 2mm spring bars so there’s no spring bar that’s larger than what I have in currently
