So much easier for me to change straps or bracelets.

I began my quest with 6 digits, but now I'm turning to 5 digits (lug hole versions specifically). I have my two liner sub and looking for a similar era Explorer II. Love the refined look and design aesthetic.

I prefer the holed lugs. Easier to remove bracelet and more of a tool watch feel. For Subs, Sea Dwellers, and explorer 2s I think it gives a more rugged look.

I’m a fan as it makes it nice and easy to switch bracelets

Ever since I had a 1680, I don't want to buy a watch without lug holes. Just makes the watch look more utilitarian, I'm not a dressy guy. Searching for a 16570 or 16710 and it severely limits the years I can buy since I also want modern lume and movements. I just don't think a five digit looks right without holes.

Yes. Please.

I would so much rather prefer having my newer Rolex watches with lug holes. I do like to change straps with relative frequency, but the very small spring bar area access on its current bracelets makes that a major PITA, to say the least

My first Rolex purchase in January 2001.
Will not part with the Sub.
