I saw a woman today wearing the stainless steel Explorer Rolex. It looked amazing but she was a stunning and very thin woman. The Rolex had a large face. I called the store where she bought it and they said that there was only one size of this watch (really men's size) but a lot of women are wearing them. Do you think this is a trend which will be short-lived with the big faces? Is it better to invest in the more traditional or classic size? Does anyone know any particular styles without diamonds preferably stainless? It is difficult to see all the models on the Rolex website.:smile1:
 
I know a few women who have worn "men's" size watches for year...
It may be a trend for some, but for others it the style they have always loved.
My FI has a stainless steel datejust 36mm with domed bezel, oyster bracelet, and white dial w/ roman markers and I used to wear it all the time before I got myself a 31mm rose gold/ stainless version.
 
I owned a black dial Explorer a couple years ago and loved it! I sold it for a 40mm Panerai and have regretted it ever since. I am actually considering selling my Tag diamond Aquaracer to buy a white dial Exp in the near future. I am 5'2" and about 110lbs.
