I've seen lots of posts on the forum referring to lugs with and without holes. Particularly in reference to GMTII's.

What does this mean? I know what the lugs are but I can't quite see how they can have holes in them (other than the holes where the bracelet is attached).

What is meant by lugs with 'no holes' vs lugs with holes?

The lugs are the "arms" that hold the pins that hold the bracelet on.. The older models had holes on the outside in order to access or pop out the pins... The newer versions have smooth lugs or arms... You access the pins from underneath..
Hope that helps

It does indeed. Thank you.

Armed with that info I was able to do some of my own research and I see that the GMT Master moved to a no holes design in 2003 (late Y series).

Thanks again.
