Explorer 36m too small?

[deansot53]

I have recently had a first world dilemma when I was offered an Explorer from my AD who I have a lot of time for (pardon the pun!)
I had been in two minds as it looks a classic however felt too small on the wrist as I am used to wearing 41m and above. I did decline after a lot of deliberation but still have second thoughts and regret in a way that I turned down the opportunity to purchase the Icon.
I am interested to get the forums thoughts on the recent new Explorer and do you feel its on the small side in todays market for a man to wear.
