I think 40mm is not that big, it is average.

i was talking about me personally.
6 months ago i was wearing vintage panerai 47mm. anything smaller felt and looked ridiculous.
Then someone lent me a 'little' 36mm explorer which felt way too small.
after a few days it felt great and everyone wearing larger watches looked silly (to me).
now i have an older submariner and am considering a datejust or explorer.
