I'm tired of people not being able to understand why the 39mm Explorer was a fucking abomination so here's a long autistic rant about it.
>REASON 1
The Explorer is a neo vintage watch. It only exists in Rolex' roster because of its iconic status, therefore it should be as close as possible to the original design, which was 36mm.
>REASON 2
The Explorer is the base of all professional Rolex. Both the Submariner and the GMT Master had THE SAME DIAL SIZE as the Explorer.
Making a 39mm Explorer breaks the continuity of Rolex' design language and it's fucking revolting.
>REASON 3
The proportions on the 39mm were all fucked up. Yes they changed the hands later but it still doesn't work because you're losing the compact design of the classic 36mm Oyster case.

If I was in charge of Rolex EVERY WATCH WITHOUT A ROTATING BEZEL would be 36mm and EVERY WATCH WITH A ROTATING BEZEL would be 40mm BECAUSE THIS IS THE TRADITIONAL OYSTER CASE DESIGN.

>inb4 "you're a wristlet"
I have above average wrists and wearing a 40mm Submariner right now
>inb4 "durrr watches are evolving, live with your times grandpa"
Mechanical watches peaked in the 60s. There's no point in trying to reinvent the wheel.
>inb4 "hurrrr nobody cares lmao"
Yes, but I'm still right and I'm the most educated person in these threads.
