I'm going through the same issue. At first I thought the 39mm was perfect, but now I'm considering the 34mm. I'm 5'6'', 150 lbs - bit stockier. Tried on the 39 in both black and white...I love both colours. But now I'm wondering...does it look big? My wrist is just a bit bigger larger than 7 inches.

I think the 34 looks great on a smaller wrist.

Tried on a 34mm for size today and I’m HOOKED. Fits my 6.25 inch wrist like a glove. 34mm white dial OP will 100% be my next piece thanks to this thread.

34mm is such a classic size..
Brings me back in time.. But with the quality... and robustness...of the present... |

I went through the OP34 vs. OP39 thing recently and chose the OP39. My wrist is 6 7/8". You have to look at the OP34 from the side to see that the bezel is much more vertically sloped than on the OP39. You cant see this from straight on, but from the side there is a big difference.

Popular bias aside, try them both on but the 34 sounds like a better fit

i think its how the new OPs are created now. with the advent of Maxicases in rolexes in 2005, certain models (GMT,Sub, OPs,,) look and feel much fuller than what their diameters suggest. Not only are the lugs thicker, but the watches are heftier bec it sits a little taller in the wrist. IMHO one distinct advantage of 34s and 36s are the PERFECT proportions they possess. Not that the 39 is bad looking (i actually like it a lot!) but the original proportions of the 34 and 36 just feels "right at home" i guess. Besides.. its not a sport model so there really is no need for it to be much bigger. My advice, just try and wear any model regardless of the size and take pics. by pics i mean pls include the Whole forearm and not just the a wrist pic.. that way you can tell if the watch is proportional to you or not. This is coming from a guy who owns a 40mm Speedy and 42mm ExpII btw. |

my favorite size is a 36, but get your point on dial variation. To me I prefer smaller watches generally 36,37,38. The 40,41, and greater I find start to look too big on my wrist.
I find the 36 and smaller dials look better on a leather strap. I got a DD36 and I took off the bracelet. I think the 34 dial can be something you are very happy with..but try to check out the bracelet it tapers quite a bit. but as others have said...most important is to buy what you like. |

My wrist is 7'' or just over and I think the 39mm fits well... I'd prefer something with a little more presence - but this comes down to my style, more than a fit, I feel.
I'd not be happy with a small size watch - but again, more a personal preference than anything else. |
