Anyone with a 14000 or 14200 know the true size of the 34mm? I was looking at an Explorer but saw the actual measurement with calipers was 35mm, so I prefer blue, if I can get a blue 369 and it's very close to a 35, I'll buy it, thanks everyone!

Not sure if you saw this link I posted in the other thread, but I'd go by these measurements for the Explorer: https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=803695.

Faz seems pretty detail-oriented, and some of the measurements I saw in other online clips didn't seem to line the calipers up quite as accurately.

Ok, this might be semi-helpful, a comparison (with measurements) of the current 124200 and a vintage OP Date (should have same dimensions as 14000):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v35GNT_BuY0&t=169s

FWIW, he measures diameter wrong, using just the outside edges of the bezel, instead of the case (which protrudes beyond the bezel at the widest points). However, it's useful because he measures both the same relative to one another. The lug-to-lug measurements also appear much more correctly done.

Attached an interesting read comparing the 116900 dial to the dash clocks Rolex designed for what was formerly known as the Bloodhound SSC, a supersonic missile on wheels that aimed to break the outright land speed record and reach speeds in excess of 1600 km/h.

Only time will tell. Everyone has an opinion, but only Rolex knows for sure, and they don't say much about anything. We'll all find out in due time.

I used the word lockdown since when I got the Everest Rubber, I gave my oyster a good bath and stored it in the plastic pouch that the Everest came in. So, my oyster bracelet is in mint condition and will be like new if I decide to change it back. It'll looks like brand new since I only wore it a few times.

Saw some ads on chrono for the 116900 at 24k. Really? Then again, not surprising. Will this stick.
