Predecessor to blue 3/6/9 116000

Was there a 36mm predecessor to the 36mm blue explorer dial 3/6/9 or was this he first model it was introduced in 36mm?

Thanks.

I guess this was a first. The older one was 34mm I guess. I was wondering as I just want the head really. Want to put it on a rubber strap.

Not sure but I feel this OP model serves as an unofficial successor to the 114270.

I agree. Hopefully I can get one soon. Pondering new/used and impulse or wait to make sure the lust is still there.
