How does my 214270 fit?

Just got my first Rolex, a 214270 Rolex explorer.

Love it but just wanted to throw this out and hear some opinions on its fit. It’s funny because sometimes at different angles it can look small, a perfect fit, and then slightly oversized

Looks good from that shot.

100% not too small.

Too big? Doubtful but only you can say

It looks good. I think a 36mm Explorer would also work, but I tend to prefer smaller watches.

Looks perfect on you! This is the one reference I had and traded and I regret it all the time. I love that matte dial. Pics like this push me to buy another

If you think it fits you, it fits. If you think it doesn't, it doesn't. If you're not sure and have to ask, it doesn't.

Looks like a perfect fit and size so stop worrying about it,and just enjoy wearing it for the next 30 odd years in good health that's far more important.

Looks gorgeous on your wrist @blueturtle !!

With the exception of diving, that is a fantastic do everything reference. Looks great in jeans and tee, looks killer with a dark suit and tie.

Wear it often in health and safety !
