Now this is not hard work, it has been sold on a page like the picture below. I bought and used it for changer pins inside the links and repair bracelet

Rolex dont make watches for small wrist?

There is boy size and ladies sizes also dont forget.

Do they make Mid size Submariner or GMT or any of the professional range?

Older Rolex oyster bracelet's minimum is 5 links on the 6 o'clock side and 5 links on the 12 o'clock side to make a total of 10 non removable links.
Newer solid oyster bracelet lets you take one more extra out on the 6 o'clock side to make a total 9 links total.

Yup you are right. I now only had 4 links on 6 o'clock direction and 5 on the 12 o'clock direction as you have said.


Here the close up shot of the pernament link... Still can be reused back with proper tool.

Congrats on the watch!!
I always thought that the explorer line worth collecting as they r undervalued IMHO  (explorer 1 , explorer 2)
And these pieces are not as mainstream as sub n gmt, so you wouldnt see them everywhere, more exclusive!

the silver one is a bit bright/loud for my taste.

the watch feels very solid, very sturdy, same as all steel rolex.

i dont think u you can go wrong with it.

make sure you have a normal wrist, the first lug doesnt bend. my petite wife cant wear it coz of it.
