What size will next Air-King be?

Dear fellow members, I know nobody here has the answer but wondering what your thought are.

Before the current 40mm Air-King 116900, I believe ALL previous AK's were 34mm. I doubt Rolex would ever go back to a classic 34mm size for gents, but what about 36mm? Being one of the older current references, there is a realistic chance the AK gets revamped either this year or next. Can you see them dropping the 40mm and going back to 36mm? Can you see it co-exist with their current lineup that already has the OP, DJ, and Exp in 36mm?

There's also a chance Rolex might go bigger and make it more in line with typical pilot's watches that are 42+mm.

I would be first in line if they made a more traditional white dialed AK36 with white gold fluted bezel and oyster bracelet, similar to the short run 114234. Just dreaming.
