I think I'm chasing and most likely need to pause and let the watch come to me. Otherwise I'll likely make a poor decision.

Just got the 36 14270 today.
It's a 2000 and pretty sure its never been worn. I have 6.8 in wrists and most of my watches are around 40 mm but I wanted the classic look the Exp is known for. It's not sized yet but Ive had it on about an hour and am glad I went 36. Here is a lousy pic I just snapped ![]()

36 all day every day. If you need a bigger no date watch, I’d go with the Sub.

Try and do whatever sings to you more. You will notice a lot of enthusiasts gravitate to the "classic" 36mm size. Do not let that sway your opinion. Which do you like more? I am not bashing the 36, its a beautiful watch. However, so is the 40. It seems to catch some hate on here for the size. Its an excellent watch. You could rock either.

I bought the 36 with all the arguments regarding history, 36 being a mens size some decades ago etc. The thing is - you can build your universe around these history-inputs and be happy. My not so watch interested family and friends - different story. Too small, why are you wearing that instead of your other watches. I can live with that, but these illustrates two different perspectives.
If I choose a watch for my own personal style - not the 36. As a watch-entusiast-thing - sure. |

36, it's the classic size and looks right.

Honestly both look like they could work on your wrist.. But you have the wrist size to support a larger watch so I would so 40mm is the slight winner. Coming from the GMT, 36m may be quite underwhelming, but it'll provide a much different feel/aesthetic (which is the point, lol).

I’d choose 40. If you initially found the 36 to be small, you may always feel that way.
