Frequently asked questions
What is the lug width of the Rolex Datejust 31 178341-0046?
The Rolex Datejust 31 178341-0046 features a lug width of 16mm. This measurement is specific to the Datejust 31 family and differs from the 36mm variant (20mm) and the Lady-Datejust 28mm (19mm). To measure accurately, use a digital calliper inside the lugs, close to the case.
What is the best strap for the Rolex Datejust 31 178341-0046?
For the Datejust 31 178341-0046 in Everose gold and steel, the most suitable materials are vegetable-tanned alligator in bordeaux or cognac tones, polished box calf leather for professional settings, shell cordovan for a distinctive patina over time, and vulcanised rubber for sporting use. A butterfly deployant clasp in rosé PVD is recommended for added security and chromatic coherence with the case.
How do you change the strap on a Rolex Datejust 31?
To replace the strap on a Datejust 31, use a fine-tipped springbar tool to remove the spring bars from the lugs. Take care not to scratch the Rolesor Everose case. If you are unfamiliar with the procedure, it is advisable to consult a watchmaker or visit the Casati Milano atelier, where fitting is included in the service.
