126711CHNR case compared to 126710BLRO

[Oaker1]

Could someone advise whether the 126711CHNR case (including lugs) is exactly the same in shape/profile/contours as the 126710BLRO? Many thanks in anticipation.

With 99.9999999% certainty I can say yes it is the same. They would not set themselves up to have to manufacture a completely different case for one variant of a model. That would be under intelligent.

While I agree on the GMT Master II, the Daytona SS, TT and YG “08” case is different from from the WG, RG, and YG “18” cases. This can be looked up here in many TRF posts or by examining lug profiles of these watches.

I too was going to say "without a doubt they're the same" but you reminded me of that Daytona debacle. I remember when I found out a few months ago I was blown away. All of the small details...
