226570 Explorer II 42mm

After only wearing large watches my whole life, I’m thinking of venturing into the world of smaller watches. I know 42mm isn’t small, but I have an 8 1/4 inch wrist and before buying my Sea Dweller a while ago, 44mm was the smallest I’d ever owned. The Explorer is actually larger by 1/10th of a MM I think, lug to lug, according to Rolex, so I thought I’d give it a try.

Can’t find much love or mention of this watch. Am I missing something? Does it wear bad? Too thin? Seems like a great piece…
