Rolex Why not a mid size Sub or Explorer?

I just purchased an Air King. I really wanted an Explorer II. However it was too large for my wrist. I think my next watch will be the Date Just Turn o Graph 36mm. It would be nice if Rolex mad more mid size watches.

Both the Sub and Exploere II were designed for specific use by people in low visibility situations. The larger dial and bright indices are a necessity.

Tudor has a mid-sized sub if you're interested. I believe it's called the Tudor Mini-Sub.

One of the main reasons I am so impressed with the Rolex model lineup, is because they do, in fact, have so many mid size watches. I think you will find that within the Oyster range alone, there are literally hundreds of dial/bracelet/bezel combinations available. Even the Yacht Master has a 36mm model. But I do agree that most of the rotating bezel type are minimum 40mm. Still, I don't think you will find any other watchmaker that has that type of watch in even 40mm. Usually just 42mm and higher.
Enjoy the Air-King. The Turn-o-graph is also an amazing looking watch!
Cheers,
Carl
