Hey everyone!
I've bought a new Explorer II from AD recently and, as usual, found one thing that bugs me: the inner edges of the lugs (marked with yellow rectangles on the photo) are a bit rounded, not razor sharp as I'm used to seeing on pro models.
Has anyone noticed something similar?
You won't be able to see the "problem" on the attached photo, it's just to show the parts of the lugs I'm talking about.

Thank you!

You bought it from an AD so I wouldn’t worry. Wear it and enjoy. It’s a great looking watch.

I'm looking at it on a 28inch screen and I'd guess the watch is about 5 times bigger on the screen than it is in real life and as you pointed out I can't see anything.

You posted something similar for the brand new DJ you purchased.

Stop looking for excuses to annoy yourself and complicate your life, the watch is fine, its brand new. Oh and I'd suggest you never ever ever buy a used watch.

I think you're overthinking it more than you should. You must have impeccable quality control standards but everything can't be 100% perfect. It's a great watch, enjoy it.

The lugs look good to me. When folks say "sharp" they mean not overly rounded. Those look proper.

Ya, I think the curved and slim lugs and smaller crown guards are what make the Explorer ll fit so well on the wrist for a 42mm Rolex. I have one and comparing it to my 114060 its easy to see why.. Enjoy that Beauty!!..

can the OCD inmates go back in their cages already? and while you are at it, throw away the key as far as humanely possible, thank you.

Enjoy the new Explorer II my friend!

I own the exact same watch, and I have no idea what you are talking about. You are beyond OCD; perhaps XXX-OCD.
