don't wanna get in a pissing match, but a speedmaster and explorer have very different case designs. Speedmaster has shorter lugs and they are pretty straight. On a oyster case, the lugs curve down and extend beyond the endlink. But yeah, I agree that the 14270 is the watch to get if you are going to wear it on a strap. I wish I had one for that purpose!
That's true, but if you look at older Explorers and Oyster case Rolexes the lug holes were right in the corners of the lugs, so they were much more strap friendly . On modern Rolexes, especially after they removed drilled lug holes, the lug holes are about as close to the case as they'll go. Meaning even if a strap fits, it just doesn't look right.
