First Rolex Help!

Hello Everyone,
I am looking to purchase my first Rolex!, it will be pre owned (budget limit) and I need a watch thats not too small (7 inch Wrist). I saw that the only watches that I can get decently cheap are: Rolex explorer II 40mm (Polar preferably), Rolex GMT 16710, Rolex Explorer 39mm, Non - Ceramic Sub, and finally Datejust II Smooth bezel 41mm. If anyone could tell me which is a better option and looks bigger on the wrist that would be so helpful. Leaning towards the, GMT and Explorer II Polar since there cheaper to find. But all depends on what looks the biggest honestly!

Thanks for any help in advanced.

I think that the sub will probably wear the largest of the five but I have never tried on the 41mm DJ

of the four you've listed, I would say non-ceramic sub, GMT, Expy II, DD, and 39mm Explorer in that order. IMO, I think sub and GMT wear about the same, and Expy II and DD are close, but I favor the polar. IMO Explorer I will wear the smallest. Can't go wrong with any of them frankly, and pre-owned is a great way to go!
