Rolex experts... I have a question please, if you don't mind...
In the past, did Rolex ever make a slightly smaller version of either the Explorer II or the Yacht-Master?
I recall seeing an Explorer II in a smaller size some time ago in a display case. I'm just not sure it was authentic.
I am looking for a daily-wearer in the 36 to 38 MM range and I find these two models are attractive.
The 40 MM size (and above) do not sit well on my wrist.
Thanks for the help.
All the best... HEO
