Okay, that has to be it, great “play” on proportions...
If I may say, funny how there is “more” to a case than just MMs, but I should know that.....
Exactly. 114200 is 19mm and 124200 is 18mm. Big difference in how it will wear.
Rolex also put the smaller 2232 movement in the 124200 vs the 3130 in the 114200. So the old version has a wider bracelet and the same movement as the 114060 Submariner.
