Justin, the Evo and BB are the same case and have the same lug end to lug end length - 51mm. That is about the limit for me.

When they made the 01 Chronomat, they meaningfully lengthened the case. While the TO has a smaller diameter, the longer lugs put the length at essentially the same as the 01 Chronomat. I haven't measured it, but I'm guessing 54mm.


You are 100% correct, it is 54mm, which is my maximum limit as I am discerning about fit as well.

Rolex always felt cheap to me. Does anyone else think so? Just given the weight.

Not at all.

Yes, the PO is thick but it's no thicker than a B4B GT or an Avenger, and it's thinner than a Seawolf.

I have heard many people say the identical thing about Titanium watches.

The older ones with hollow end links, maybe, but the current models have been stepped up. That said, I don't care to feel like I'm dragging around a paperweight on my wrist. Personally, I find many Breitlings to be too heavy. My Evo was so heavy, it actually made my wrist ache.

Rolex are always long for the diameter, eh? The 41mm DateJust 2 I had was really at the length limit for me and one reason I never bothered to look at the Explorer 2. I'll definitely check out the ceramic PO in 42mm if it is in black. Otherwise, I'm leaning in the two tone ceramic Sub or SS Daytona direction. Yeah, I know, I know, Daytona?!?


I'm a Daytona fan so no complaints there but a TT sub???? Ewwww.


cmon man TT subc is SIIIIIIICCCCKKKK!!!!!!!!!
