The only Rolex sport watches that fit me anymore are the Daytona and Explorer... May be the GMT with the jubilee bracelet.

Rolex should leave these the way there are.

Explorer, in particular, have people are already complaining that it went from a 36mm to 39mm... imagine 41mm. No thank you.

The current size is the best proportions as a modern variant.

Lantenac06 · 27 October 2020, 03:51 AM

Nope. For me 39 is perfect. Would consider going a little smaller but definitely not bigger.

jrox · 27 October 2020, 04:19 AM

Nope for me - 39 is the perfect size

mrockperez · 27 October 2020, 04:31 AM

I'll be the odd one out here, but I have been waiting to buy an explorer in hopes it goes to 41mm!

Rashid.bk · 27 October 2020, 05:05 AM

That's a 100% positive no! Larger would be a mistake, going the other direction to a 37mm would actually be better even.

AJMarcus · 27 October 2020, 05:31 AM

No way! I enjoy my 214270. But I think it would be better at 37-38.

Heady Topper · 27 October 2020, 05:34 AM

Not a chance. 36 is a tad too small, 38 would be the perfect size, but if it went to 41 I would lol

im gonna go against the grain here. If they release a 41m Explorer I am going to scoop that up in a heart beat

drblowfin · 27 October 2020, 08:27 AM

41 would be too large esp as it’s all dial.
Love my 214270 mk2.

For an idea of how a 41 Explorer would look, consider the (discontinued) Tudor Heritage Ranger (41), or the North Flag (40) - both too big, in my opinion, when I saw them in person.

jerryguo · 27 October 2020, 08:32 AM

not really, same reason as why I dislike the new OP41 because it looks too big

Nodzex · 27 October 2020, 08:33 AM

That’s exactly why I am waiting 2021 and hoping for the upgrade! Since I have 7 3/4” wrist 39mm is definitely too small!
My AD called me and said to swing by and I did. It ia a beautiful watch don’t get me wrong but when I put it on, I changed my mind! Way too small!

polaris72 · 27 October 2020, 08:41 AM

It depends on its “new” 41mm case and shape. So a big Maybe after trying it on and see if it retained its proportions. However, given the current trend of overall slowdown of inflated watches, I would doubt that we will see 41mm anytime soon.

wrx04 · 27 October 2020, 08:45 AM

No. 39mm is great IMO.

I love my Explorer, but do miss the date function sometimes. Would Rolex ever release an Explorer date?

Jerrocop · 27 October 2020, 09:58 AM

No way. I’ve got an 8 1/2” wrist and I love the 39mm size. If I wanted bigger I’d look at something else but this Explorer with its big dial is perfect.

mbc · 27 October 2020, 10:08 AM

Nope. 39mm is perfect for my modern explorer 214270, 36mm for my 1016. would not be interested in larger

NachoNeal · 27 October 2020, 10:22 AM

No. I've tried on the Explorer 39, and it's about max for my 6.76 wrist.

Psmith · 27 October 2020, 10:41 AM

I expect it will happen eventually, and perhaps a white dial option as well.

2bigalow · 27 October 2020, 11:13 AM

Not! 41 would ruin it.

Could not agree more. 37 would be awesome.

No. As some have mentioned above, I’d buy a new one if it came in 36mm.

SkyJuice · 27 October 2020, 04:04 PM

I hope they re-release the 36mm.

importstunna · 27 October 2020, 04:06 PM

No way! I already think 39mm is max to keep its classic shape and look, so def a no at any bigger.

Game&Watch · 27 October 2020, 05:13 PM

Yes. I think 40mm would be perfect, but 41 would be good too.
