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!!!

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.

35 is a fantastic size and is definitely sporty without being to big.

Platona with the diamond markers is the answer. Don't mess around with half-measures in SS or whatever, just suck it up and lay it on her! She won't even remember that YM.
