I see a lot of 41mm+ and 36mm-, but what about something in between? It's not rocket science. I'm missing out on a lot of great watches but they have to fit first! Ok, rant over. thanks

I'm right there with you! My Explorer is about as big as I can go before it gets comical.

Well all watches fit differently and visually depending on the style can look larger or smaller.

AND 1mm in size from 39-40 is pretty small.

HogwldFLTR · 30 October 2020, 07:23 AM

I agree with you although Rolex 41 mm is sometimes closer to 39mm. It can be 41mm in name only!!!

jrs146 · 30 October 2020, 07:38 AM

I’d think if 39mm fits then 40mm would. Have you tried watches like the Air-King that are 40mm but don’t have a large bezel? Also all the OP39mm options!

All I wear are 47mm Panerai these days so anything smaller than 44mm gets zero interest from me.

denmanproject · 30 October 2020, 09:20 AM

39 is a great size

AzPaul · 30 October 2020, 09:27 AM

Wouldn't worry too much about it.
My friends at Evine assure me that anything up to 63mm is okay.

But how tall are you?

Why isn't there more 39mm watches rant?

You won’t get a rant from me on 39mm because it’s the perfect size for me and the 39mm Explorer Mk2 is my perfect watch.

Bluside · 30 October 2020, 09:44 AM

A silly millimeter longer. Oh wait, that was a commercial for something else.

(The older folks on here will get it.)

The 39mm fits so well on me. I had to let go of the 40mm sub because it looked too big on me, especially on a nato strap. I want a 39mm diver rolex, and I know a 39mm diver would be perfect because I have the bb58 now. I had the OP39mm and explorer, great fits!

Much better

Get thee to Grand Seiko - many nice 39mm watches to behold.

Orangejoe · 31 October 2020, 07:44 AM

Real men need a real MAN sized watch.

Frankly, I'm surprised the most popular show size in America is not 12EEE
