Datejust uses 20mm end links like the Explorer II. It should fit but the end links might need to be changed. You might have more gap than you like with the DateJust end links.

The AZ guy is correct, but 38mm and 40mm are the case diameters, not the width of the opening between the lugs.

Might want to research #502B end pieces. I see in my reference that both the 16710 and the 16570 take the same oyster 78360 bracelet and 501B ends as standard. And the 16710 also takes the 62510H bracelet and 502B ends as an offered option. Thus, the 502B's should also be a good fit on the Exp II. Note that the B's take a larger diameter spring bar than the old 555's - they will be sloppy with the smaller diameter ones.

If you are talking about a lug hole era jubilee going on another lug hole Rolex, my experience is that it will work. If you're talking about a 36mm end piece on a 40mm watch, it still works but isn't a perfect fit. If this is a 36mm to another 36mm, I'd expect a pretty close, or better, fit.
