Remember when?

Nearly 25 years ago, there was an enormous demand for the 36mm Explorer.
It seems that at this time, the Japanese market coveted this reference. 14270 or 114270; it didn’t matter.
Every other reference, other than Daytona, was readily available.
Not this one.
I bought mine in 1994. Tried it on today and it’s puny.
Used to be wonderful.

Glad you know what size watches suit you OP.

People can wear whatever size fits their needs. No need for watch/ wrist size police to dictate imaginary laws with regard to sizing.
