Rolex lug-to-lug size guide [list of top models].

When talking about watch sizes, we normally only talk about diameter and sometimes also the thickness. But the thing is that there are a lot of different aspects that affect how a watch wears on the wrist. And oftentimes, only looking at the diameter of a watch doesn’t give an accurate idea of its actual size and how it feels on the wrist.

Something that should also be taken into consideration as it has a large effect on how the watch sits on your wrist is the lug-to-lug measurement. In this article, we will talk a little bit about why lug-to-lug is important when determining the size, and also list the lug-to-lug of some of the most popular Rolex watches

What is lug-to-lug?

The lug-to-lug is the distance between the top top of the lug and the very bottom, as seen in the photo below. It is often confused with lug width, but this is the distance between the lugs, where the strap or bracelet is attached. These are not the same thing.

As demonstrated below:

Why lug-to-lug matters

There are some general guidelines for how big your watch should be on the wrist. Anyone is of course welcome to wear how large or small a watch they would like, but these guidelines are meant to help people choose a watch that sits perfectly on the wrist and doesn’t look awkward in any way.

One of the key rules of thumb is that the lugs of a watch should never protrude from your wrist. If the lugs protrude from the wrist, they almost always tend to look too big and awkward.

With this said, the diameter is important, but lug-to-lug is something that should not be neglected.

Rolex lug-to-lug

Now that you know the lug-to-lug is important for getting a better idea of how a watch sits on the wrist, how do you find it?

Interestingly enough, many brands, including Rolex, do not provide the lug-to-lug measurements in their product specifications. This is something we have scratched our heads many times about, and it is actually quite strange that Rolex and most other brands do not share the lug-to-lug measurements when it is actually such an important piece of information.

But don’t worry, because Rolex doesn’t share this information, we have created a list of some of the most common and most popular Rolex watches and their lug-to-lug measurements.

It is worth keeping in mind that because these are not official measurements, you do not get the same ”consistency” as measurements may vary depending on how they are measured, what has been used when measuring, etc. At the same time, we all know that Rolex’s watch dimensions in reality aren’t always what the specifications say on paper anyway. But they will work as indicative, even if they are not accurate down to 1/100th of a millimeter. So whilst different sources may vary by a few 0. mm, it is close enough to give an indicative idea.

Before you buy a watch, you want to make sure that you have carefully researched every single aspect, especially if it is a Rolex watch for thousands of dollars. You have thickness and you know the diameter. Together with the lug-to-lug, you have a pretty good idea of whether the watch is for you. Keep in mind, however, that things like case shape, bracelet, etc. are also things that do affect how a watch sits on the wrist.

Owner review: rolex yacht-master 37 268621.

Rolex Yacht-Master 37 268621

The Yacht-Master line of Rolex has never been a hugely popular series from the acclaimed watch house. That is not necessarily a bad thing though. This was actually the main reason that I got attracted to the Rolex Yacht-Master 37 268621 in the first place.

There are very few of these that you will actually see in the wild.

The Rolex Yacht-Master 37 268621 has such an elegant profile, it is similar to the case of a modern Datejust and Daytona with lugs slopping down and hugging one’s wrist. So when I got a call from my Rolex authorized dealer last year (I waited for a week…. Yes you read it right, waited only for a week) I didn’t think twice and drove myself the very next day to pick it up in person.

I picked up the less popular 37mm two-tone rose gold version and I absolutely love it. The Rolex rose gold is so warm that one tends to get mesmerized by it (at least I do). The elegance of the profile, shine and tone of the rose gold and weight does not disappoint. I wear this in the office and on the beach… literally an incredibly versatile timepiece.

Rolex Yacht-Master 37

A lot of people might be wondering why I opted for the Rolex Yacht-Master 37 268621 rather than the popular 40mm. I always prefer the more modest sized watches and thought this one was a good fit on my 6.5 inch wrist. I have a number of 40mm watches in my current collection and I thought the 37mm would be a good addition for a more “classy touch”. It is still a mystery to me why this line has not shoot up in popularity and value. Something deep inside me would prefer to keep it that way… a hidden gem that only a few know and appreciate!

Celebrate The Class of 2024

Smooth Sailing with the Rolex Yacht-Master 37

rolex yacht master 37 lug to lug

Because of all the excitement caused by the launch of the steel and ceramic Daytona ref. 116500LN at Baselworld 2016, it’s easy to forget that there were other new Rolex watches there too. Case in point is the highly attractive, yet somewhat overlooked, Yacht-Master 37 ref. 268622. The ref. 286622 is the smaller version of the Yacht-Master 40 ref. 116622 with the exact same color palette—making these a great pair of matching his and her Rolex watches.  With warmer weather finally on the horizon, let’s dive into the nautical-inspired Yacht-Master 37 ref. 268622.

The Yacht-Master 37 has a very interesting dial.

The Beauty of the Rolesium Yacht-Master 37 

As its name suggests, the Yacht-Master 37 ref. 286622 sports a very wearable 37mm case—perfectly suitable for women. Alternatively, men who prefer a more restrained watch size can certainly wear this particular Yacht-Master too. Dubbed by Rolex as “Rolesium”, this term refers to the use of both stainless steel and platinum on the Yacht-Master.

This Yacht-Master 37 has a unique mix between steel and platinum.

Both the Oyster case and Oyster bracelet are constructed from stainless steel for optimal robustness and sportiness, while the platinum rotating bezel amps up the luxuriousness. While this Yacht-Master 37 is monochromatic, it is far from boring thanks to different shades and textures. For instance, the matt sandblasted platinum on the bezel is a stunning contrast to the glossy raised numerals. Also, the center polished links of the steel Oyster bracelet pops next to the brushed steel links flanking it. Furthermore, the dark rhodium dial has a sunburst finish, which plays beautifully in the light.

That moody gray dial benefits from a subtle flash of color. And the turquoise seconds hand and turquoise “Yacht-Master” label is the perfect color choice. Encircling the periphery of the dial are the large lume plots with white gold surrounds, in addition to the date window at 3 o’clock. Naturally, this being a Rolex, the date display is magnified by the brand’s iconic Cylops lens affixed to the crystal sapphire protecting the dial. Finally, sitting at the center of the dial is the pair of luminescent Mercedes-style hands .

The Caliber 2236 at the heart of the Yacht-Master 37

Powering the Rolesium Yacht-Master 37 is the Rolex Caliber 2236 automatic movement. As with all modern Rolex calibers, this is an in-house mechanical movement. It is, of course, a COSC-certified movement, but beyond that, it’s also a “Superlative Chronometer” due to Rolex’s more stringent parameters. In fact, the Caliber 2236 boasts a precision rate of -2/+2 sec/day, while the COSC threshold is only -4/+6 seconds per day.

The functions of the Caliber 2236 include the time and date . But, it also has the instantaneous date feature—meaning that the date “jumps” to the next one at midnight rather than a slow gradual turning of the disc. Additionally, the hacking feature—where the seconds hand comes to a complete stop when the winding crown is out—allows for more precise time adjustments.

This yacht-master 37 from Bobs watches is brand new.

Positioned as a luxury watch to wear while sailing aboard a boat (or lunching at the yacht club), the Yacht-Master 37 is water resistant to 330 feet (100 meters). To achieve this, the watertight Oyster case features a monobloc middle case , Triplock winding crown, and fluted caseback.

Among the choice of ladies’ Yacht-Masters, this has got to be one of the best models to date. With its fresh modern design, ideal size, and technical capabilities, it’s a superb example of a chic luxury sports watch.

Comprehensive Guide to Rolex Sizes: Dimensions of Every Model

Comprehensive Guide to Rolex Sizes: Dimensions of Every Model

If you’re a fan of Rolex watches, you know that the brand offers a wide range of case sizes across its various collections. Some Rolex collections even have different sizes within the same line. In recent years, Rolex has not only added more case sizes to its lineup, but also changed some, altering the width of the lugs. 

Knowing the case size and lug width of a particular watch is the first step when choosing the right strap to pair it with. We’ve compiled this handy guide to Rolex sizes, detailing all the case diameters and lug widths of popular modern models.

Interestingly, older steel case versions of the Sky-Dweller have wider lug widths than the precious metal variants. In 2023, Rolex replaced existing Sky-Dwellers models with a whole new collection of new references.

Rolex Submariner om Everest Leather Strap

Not only is the Submariner Rolex’s most popular dive watch but it has become the standard for what a luxury diving watch should be. Although 40mm was the go-to size for the Submariner since the late 1950s, Rolex increased the case diameter in 2020 to 41mm.

The Details Make The Difference

There you have it, our comprehensive guide to Rolex case sizes and lug widths. 

Before we wrap things up, it is important to point out that even if two Rolex watches have the same on-paper case diameters and lug widths, an aftermarket strap may not fit the same way on each watch. Other factors such as lug shape and case thickness come into play. Therefore, if you have any questions about which straps would pair best with a particular Rolex reference , feel free to reach out to our team here at Everest.

Deep confidence

Beneath the surface.

Launched in 1953, the Rolex Submariner is the first divers’ wristwatch to be waterproof to a depth of 100 metres (330 feet) – now 300 metres (1,000 feet). Its major features, such as the graduated rotatable bezel, the luminescent display, the large hands and hour markers, have been a driving force in the creation of the long line of Rolex divers’ watches which followed.

The Submariner is an iconic timepiece whose renown now extends beyond the professional world it was first designed for. The Submariner, the ultimate standard.

A true divers’ watch by design

As an underwater survival tool, this watch’s design has been entirely dictated by the practical needs of divers. Since 1953, the Submariner has evolved technically and aesthetically as it has been endowed with features to improve overall functionality. The first watch was a pioneer and its subsequent versions have continued to set the benchmark for divers’ watches.

Monitor diving time

The Submariner’s unidirectional rotatable bezel is key to the functionality of the watch. Its engraved 60-minute graduation allows divers to monitor their time underwater. Manufactured by Rolex from a hard, corrosion-resistant ceramic, the Cerachrom bezel insert is virtually scratchproof and its colour is unaffected by ultraviolet rays, seawater or water that is chlorinated. In addition, thanks to its chemical composition, the high-tech ceramic is inert and cannot corrode.

The Submariner’s unidirectional rotatable bezel has knurled edges that offer excellent grip when setting the dive time, even when wearing gloves. It rotates notch by notch, accompanied by distinctive clicks.

Triple waterproofness system

The Submariner’s Oyster case, guaranteed waterproof to a depth of 300 metres (1,000 feet), provides the movement with optimal protection from water and dust. The Triplock winding crown – fitted with a triple waterproofness system – screws down securely against the case, ensuring watertight security.

Chromalight display

The Chromalight display is an innovation that improves visibility in dark environments, an essential feature for divers. An innovative luminescent material emitting a blue glow is applied to the hands, hour markers and the capsule on the bezel.

Hour markers in simple shapes – triangle, circle, rectangle – and broad hour and minute hands enable instant and reliable reading to prevent any risk of confusion underwater.

  7. Rolex Yacht Master 37mm on 7 inch wrist. What say you? : r/rolex

    A 7in wrist can easily accommodate up to a 51mm lug to lug watch and the YM sits at around 46 or 47mm which is the dimension that matters most. Also you won't have a head ache finding plethora of 20mm straps etc like you would with the 37 YM 19mm lug width. WOW - One of the most intuitive replies i have received.

  9. Dream watch but too big for my wrist : r/rolex

    Look at the yacht master 37 then if you want a Rolex with a diver look. This should fit and the rhodium version is very nice IMO. Also if you prefer a more classic look the Tudor BB54 should work fine. The BB58 wears like a 5 digit sub more or less so will be too big.

I have pretty slim 6 - 6.25 inch wrists so I generally tend to pick watches on the smaller side but as you probably know, the yacht master actually wears pretty slim compared to the submariner with a lug to lug of only 47.1mm since they taper down and don't just ...
