It looks perfect! My wrist is 7.5" and my 39mm Explorer looks just a shade too large, in my opinion. It's all dial... although I totally love it! I do wish I had a 36mm one too though.

For me...yes. For you and others not necessarily. This one looks good on your wrist.

That is the way a watch is supposed to fit.

Looks perfect on you imho. The trend for larger watches has reset our eyes I believe, I've always worn big watches & at first I felt my SubC was small on 7.5 wrist, now it looks perfect. I love my 34 AK but I think it looks silly on me, unfortunately. My wife likes it though 😉

36mm 114270 is the perfect watch.
I love mine and your 36mm looks fine on you. |

I personally think it's too small for your wrist, not by a awful lot, but enough to make it blatant. All down to personal taste at the end of the day.. I'd rather wear a sport watch closer to the limits of my wrist. 40 mil is my theoretical minimum depending on the shape of the lugs and case. I prefer 44.

Based on the lugs, it's perfect and the panerai might be too big.

Looks really good. You aren't the size to pull off much bigger.

112 looks like a wall clock.

To my eye the Explorer looks like a better fit than the 112.

Looks great on you.
After collecting watches for as long as I have, I now realize the diameter of a round watch is merely a starting point for an indication of how it will look on the wrist. Other factors just as important as the diameter are the bezel-to-dial ratio, and the length/width/shape of the lugs. I guess I could have said "proportions" and been done with it. Fortunately for us, the Rolex design has great proportions to start with. |

I know a lot of guys wear this size of watch and manage to pull it off. It looks like a toy on my wrist! Actually bought it for my wife. It's our 19th wedding anniversary.
