Pepsi lugs vs CHNR lugs

[ra77man]

Gents,

Simple question for those who've noticed or know. Are the lugs of the CHNR the same as those of the slimmed-down lugs of the new pepsi or those of the batman?

I couldn't really tell the difference.
This is next to a 116710

Given that the cases are made of the same material, both came out the same year and both contained all the changes from the previous iteration GMT (updated movement, minor change in the type at the bottom of the dial, etc.), it really wouldn't make much sense to have the two models' respective lugs be ever so slightly different… I would bet money that they're the same.

I agree - it makes logical sense. Double checking here.

Lugs should be exactly the same on all of the latest GMT models, unless I'm missing something.

Here are the three together with the old Batman.

I recall when the BLNR debuted on the Jubilee there was mention of “slimmed down lugs” in some sales literature of unknown provenance. My memory is hazy, but I believe it was a questionable translation of the case modification so that the Oyster bracelet cannot be transferred to the new BLNR reference.

I believe all current six digit GMT cases to be identical. If not, I’d like to see some real world measurements using a Mitutoyo caliper...

I might be wrong but I don't believe anywhere they explicitly stated that it has "slimmed down lugs". I believe last year when BLRO was released in SS there were mentions of something along the lines of "revised lug design" or something like that. With that, I also saw somewhere a mention of lug holes being in different position on new cases. This leads me to believe that apart from that, the cases are indeed the same and measurements of BLRO compared to older 6 digits indeed showed that. New BLNR comes with same case as BLRO SS and so does the CHNR to the best of my knowledge.
