A Discussion around the Rolex Explorer 2 and the high chance that a Mid-Size model is on the cards in the next few years. As Rolex has transitioned into the 202o's, we've noticed how many of their core professional models cases have been adjusted, either slightly larger or smaller. From the GMT, Submariner to the Daytona, even the humble Explorer has moved from 39mm back to 36 and 40 in the modern lineup. One piece that has not been addressed yet is the Explorer 2, with a design that now looks like it belongs more in the mid-2000's, here's a quick look at how then could push it down to 40mm's while retaining the gorgeous silhouette of the originals.
