Anyone see anything here?

Looks to my eye like they may have given the Explorer II bracelet the same treatment as the Deepsea and Sub bracelets got – i.e., reducing the taper a bit to make the bracelet more proportional the case.

Anyone got anything on that?

I don't think so. It's already 21 to 17.

Also the lug, it's slimmer like the lug of Submariner 40>41

Yeah very interested if modifications were made to the bracelet and case in terms of size or proportion. Less taper in the bracelet would be a welcome change imo and might tip the scales in favor of choosing this model over another as my first purchase.

22mm bracelet. Same as SeaDweller.

They simply trim .5 of a mm from the inside of the lugs (either side) and increase bracelet size by 1mm.

That’s Rolex’s interpretation of a newly designed case.

Subtle evolution but it does make a visual difference.
