Wife wants "sporty" Rolex, recommendations pls
My wife wants a sportier Rolex for the weekends.

I showed her the lady Yatchmaster and Daytona.

She likes the yatchmaster with blue dial but I am not sure it comes on 31mm or 36... Only on 40mm.

What options does she have?

Pictures of real women (not actresses) wearing Sporty rolex welcome!

Thank you!!!

Oyster Perpetual 34mm in silver or blue (3-6-9 dial like Explorer)?

Sub, exact model of her choice. My wife wears a stainless steel Sub every day. She gets lots of compliments and it looks great. She has a 36mm yellow gold day-date for when she wants more bling.

Ive seen ladys sport daytonas and subs. Mostly datejustes. Perhaps the explorer at 36 or 39?
Was at an AD i frequent yesterday and the nice young sales lady was sporting a ceramic hulk. It was fantastic.

The 28mm Yacht-Master which is discontinued now and the 35mm Yacht-Master would be my first choice.
