I like smaller watches as they are less bulky..and you get better deals on em..
I own the 34mm Olive Green OP..and more recently..the YM 35mm.
And they are all nice..just depends on how much comfort and weight you want to be carrying around..
Below is my vid on the subject..
I thought the 35mm YM was really small when I got it..but took a chance..that said.. you get used to it real quick..I'm so happy w/it!
And now..I'm not wearing anything else but the 35mm for almost a year..even the 34mm OP seems too weighty..

I think that looks great! If you happen to try on a 37 oyster flex, upload that photo as well !

My wife has a 37mm, and it's really small. She's tiny with tiny wrists, and it looks good on her, but I think it would look odd on a man. The YMs wear small to begin with, so you'd have to have very tiny wrists (IMHO) for a 40mm to look out of place.

6.4 wrists are small I think. That’s mine.

Here's my YM37, I have small wrists (just below 6inches)

Compared to my DJ36 the dial is and looks smaller (due to the bezel I believe). However I love it, it's my daily wear...puts a smile on my face every day.

Yep the dial size makes a pretty decent impact on how it wears and I agree with you when i tried the YM37 it wore smaller than the DJ36. It was the key reason I went YM40.

Any men wearing YACHT-MASTER 268655 oysterflex 37MM??

My wife has the 37mm. I have the 40mm. I squeezed my wife’s on. (However I could not engage the clasp because my wrist is too big). I also included a pic of my 40mm for comparison sake. Looking in the mirror with the 37mm on I felt it looked too small and feminine.

That’s a good picture comparison. Yeah the 37 looks smaller than the 40 for sure side by side, but I like that it is smaller. I feel the 37 will look good And fit nicely under a button down shirt cuff sleeve.

it would look even smaller in a non distorted close up (in front of a mirror). i'd definitely try to find one to see for yourself, like i said earlier it looks way smaller in person than you would imagine lol

Great comparison shot. It does seem small. What size is your wrist?

I guess it all depends on how the person feels. Like I’ve said, I like smaller watches. But others may like a larger watch.

Im not sure of my wrist size. But on a new Rolex purchase I typically have 2 links removed.
