How do you like the size of the OP 34? If it feels just a touch small, go explorer. If it feels way small, or you are looking for as much diversity as possible in a two watch collection - go Sub.

The Sub is wearing you. Get the Explorer for a classic fit.

EDIT: Oops, see now that you've already bought. Congrats on the Sub!

Just get both like I did, thinking I’d sell the one I like the least. Now I can’t sell either one, lol!

You'll end up with both, just like I did, but until then, the Sub, as you already have the OP

Sorry to say, but on size alone I’d say you need something in between. The Exp 36 looks too small (to my eye), and the Sub looks marginally too big.

However if it was my wrist and my choice, I’d say the Sub looks slightly better on you.

Sub looks good. So does the Explorer. I have the same size wrist and issue with the Sub for me is the clasp. It's massive.

Explorer looks fine on your wrist, The Submariner "seems" just a tad big but not to bad. I would of chose a 40mm version IMO.

But out of the two I feel you done fine. It's all about what YOU like. Congratulations and enjoy!

In the second shots the sub looks too big. Then again, I think the new sub looks too big on the majority of people who post pics. You should have at least a 7in wrist to pull it off.

I love the threads here where people give advice on how watches fit.

Every time I read one it reconfirms my opinion that one should never ask a bunch of strangers on the Internet what they think. About anything.
