Rolex Case Sizes

[ElvisNews]

Looking to buy another Rolex... I do love the big case sizes... however, as a lady with a very small wrist the sport model Rolex just doesn't fit right.

I tried the WC Mark XVI (39mm case) that was way to big... from lug to lug... it was bigger than my wrist...

So my question is... I would like something between 36mm -38mm case size without a date if possible... what model Rolex should I be looking for?

I perfer a vintage model as the band and clip fit better...

All suggestions welcome... please add picture... sellers chip in too...thanks

An Oyster Perpetual and an Explorer 1 would be 36mm. Or maybe a Mid size YM. that would be 35mm and would have the date cyclops.

Of the vintages, I would say a 5500 Air King would look nice. That would be 34mm.

Good luck!

Is there 38mm size Rolex ... without a date?

The new Explorer will be 39mm, but I'm not sure if there are any 38s out there. Maybe the men's pearlmaster? But that would have a date.

Are you all talking about case length or watch diameter????? Most Rolex sport watches....sub, gmt, ex2, etc have a 48mm case length, lug to lug.....which is ok on wrists 6" & above.....on smaller wrists watch make rock & roll around.
The expl., airkings, opnd's & dj's are 42mm case length, lug to lug, probably better for wrists under 5".

Maybe you could buy a sports model and then wear it on a Nato or leather strap!!!

I know this may be against the grain but perhaps you can experiment with Datejusts, DDs, Subs or Daytonas cos there is a trend for woman wearing guys watches with a little looseness of play as in a bracelete and boy do the look good!
