What is the lug width of the Breitling Colt A7338710BB49157A?

The lug width of the Breitling Colt A7338710BB49157A is 20mm. This measurement should be taken with a digital calliper between the two lugs, in contact with the spring bars, excluding the thickness of the lugs themselves. Respecting this dimension is essential to ensure a lateral-play-free fit.
