Nailed it.

It is the reissue and fully stainless. It's one of my favorites at any cost.

I also have a 34mm Rolex 1503 on a strap that I'm very fond of.

I can’t see where anyone could make a single complaint about the size of that timepiece. Perfect in my opinion.

Yeah, I tried once a 39mm. Was not my cup of tea, either. The problem was not the overall size of the watch. I just felt the proportions were off somewhere.

39 = + 6.5 inch wrist & 36 = minus 6.4 inch

I'd have to adjust this with:

39 = + 6.8 inch wrist & 36 = minus 6.7 inch

Or:

36 = Anyone who prefers classic sized watches

39 = Anyone who prefers contemporary sized watches
