Hi

Very nice Explorer/leather strap combo! Just wondered how difficult you found fitting the leather strap given that there are no lug holes on the new Explorer? Also could you give me an idea on the source of the strap?

Many thanks

Boardman- your writ size is almost identical to mine. I am at 7.25" wrist size. Can anyone else chime in on wrist size and the 216570?

I am currently wearing a legacy 36mm Rolex, so anything by comparison will feel large.

Just concerned it is too large for my wrist. BTW, I a 6' & 195 lb.

Just measured it. A tad under 7.25. 42mm is my max.

I had the same concern before purchasing mine and my wrist is only 6.75 but after buying, it is becoming my favorite daily Rolex.
