Ever since I first tried the 39mm, I really liked the simplicity and under the radar look of this beautiful tool watch, but dial of the 39mm was just a bit too big for me, so when the release of the 36mm. was announced, I knew I had to have it.

I must say I was really skeptical of going with a 36mm on my 7 inch wrist, but the classical sizes I remember seeing when I was younger, has always been appealing to me, so I decided to give it a go.

I couldn’t get on the list for this watch, as I’m already waiting for another one, and they only allow one order at the time, so this is the first time going grey, and the experience has just been flawless. Two days in total for an unworn new watch. I’m an impatient person, so this couldn’t have been any better:)

Resized and ready to go

19mm. bracelet makes the proportions great

The smaller size takes some time to getting used to, but it’s really comfortable and the legibility is great.

Wish everyone a great day:)

I surmise that the smaller size adds to the variety of your collection. It's a classic, congrats and enjoy!

Cool, such an iconic watch. I have noticed the prices of these dropping slightly in the last month as there are so many about on the grey market. I added one to my watch list on ebay the other day and an hour later I got the auto £7k offer from the seller which considering the new £5800 MSRP isn't a bad price. Needless to say its now sold but there are others.

Congratulations. Classic size rules. I still miss the 114270 I used to own when they were easily available around 3k. I may need to add this one too. Looks great on your wrist.

Nice

dduranceau · 20 January 2022, 06:16 AM

Congrats! Absolutely phenomenal watch! I owned the 39mm Mk2 but even on my 7.25in wrist the dial always seemed just a bit too large. I purchased the new 36mm Explorer recently and couldn’t be happier.

Great pick-up! It looks perfect on you!
