I used to restore the little Canadian Oyster models and a few other small Rolex signed ones and couldn't keep them in stock.

When larger watches started becoming more popular. They became much harder to sell and don't bother with them anymore.

Show them if you got them

Oyster, Sky Rocket, etc.

AirKing, Date, and Oyster Perpetual are still very popular.

Not sure if you consider 36mm small, but I just bought this '71 Datejust:

Small as in the little 30 mm sized models from the 30's to maybe 50's

Other like the Speedking

I love the history which is why I have small models and big. I appreciate the craftsmanship the size is not so important. Some of the greatest rolex models are considered small by todays standards. Ultimately you wear a watch for your benefit only. If you like the watch wear it proudly .
