Daytona case differences, has anyone noticed this one?

So the PM vs ss case differences are well known. Symmetrical vs asymmetrical, feet vs no feet.

Now I noticed that the bracelet end link was sticking out past the edge of the lugs the other night as I was enjoying my whiskey. I was like hmm are my springbars loose already? Surely not. A closer look shows that the the curve of the lugs don’t match the bracelet. Unlike the ss and tt were the bracelet endlinks sit within the lugs.

A bit of a head scratcher lol. Another TRF member said that he would guess the full pms were originally designed for straps hence the feet at the end of the lugs. I checked the wg and pt online. Same thing… the weird world of Rolex keeps giving.

I’ve also attached photos of the weights of the Daytonas I have sized with two links out. Just what I get up to when I get some me time with my favourite drop.

Anyway hope you all have a great day.

Endlinks on the 11x Deepsea are the same as on the Platona

I love that feature on both

Differentiates them further from other models

Yes, platinum and rose gold have symmetrical lugs and protruding end links.

Yellow gold and steel have asymmetrical lugs and flush end links.

I prefer the yellow gold and steel lines better myself.
