Look at the images in those two links.

Rolex renders these images to scale RELATIVE TO ONE ANOTHER, and indeed you can tell that here because the Deepsea appears just slightly larger.

Now, if you look carefully, you can see that the lug width is slightly larger on the new SD. It's 22mm – book it.

Good call BJ now, while you are on a roll....

........how thick is it?

[waterman1]

I hope you're right. If 22 it will make this watch more stable on the wrist, and wear smaller. now if we can just get some space to use natos and other rubber straps.

If the dial size are the same, looks like 126600 is 22mm in lug width. (of course not 100% sure!)

Oyster for new SD have reference 97220 --> 22mm

[BJHofkin]

Haha, can't help you there!

I'd guess though that it's virtually identical to the SD4K's thickness. Why would it be any different?

Rolex has said that the new red SD bracelet is wider than 20mm to be more porportional to the size of the watch.

It's not a supposition ... it's the reality and it's the way Rolex code their bracelet numbers

[BJHofkin]

I read it on ablogtowatch but I'm glad to know Rolex has made it official.

That said, "wider" could mean 21mm, but I think it's actually 22mm…

Great information, thanks.

Am I understanding correctly then the lug width of the new SD is 22mm and the DS is 21mm?

Yes – apologies and awesome info.

Any insight into clasp width? Obviously if we're talking 22mm lug width, I can't imagine it would taper to 16mm. I assume it's 17mm or 18mm.

How bizarre is that?

Don't mean to offend DSSD owners, but isn't that just a straight-up admission by Rolex that they messed up with the DSSD bracelet?

Using that info I snapped photos off web site the using the old calipers determined lug to lug is 48-49 mm making case thickness at 15-15.5 . I'm most diffinatly in its same thickness just 43 mm . My speedmaster is 42 and 14mm perfect
