OP 34 or 36 for me?

Hi all: Seeking your advice. 34 or 36 OP for my approximately 7-inch wrist? I like the double indices and numerals on the 36. But I also have old-fashioned tastes in watch size--I feel comfortable with smaller watches, so a 34 is not out of the question for me. I do like the white dial in either size. I've attached a few pics. Please let me know what you think! Thanks!

Thanks! The AD recommended 36, too. He said I should get a 36 modern Rolex, and save 34 for a vintage. Thanks again!

39 would feel uncomfortably large for me. If I liked 39, I would shell out the extra $$ and buy an Explorer!

Thanks!

I know, that's the problem it's a close call with the 2 mm difference! But your opinion is reassuring--I can't go wrong either way!

The 36. But that’s not the new 36? The lugs seem bigger? Maybe it’s just me

Yw. If you were going 34 make sure to check our the green dial OP. It is a stunner.

Thanks! I mean, it's a new watch at an AD. And the white dial OP didn't come out all that long ago, right? Maybe there's something I don't know? anyway, thanks!

both work. Depends if you like double batons. I like both. I have a 34 with 369 arabics. The size difference of 2mm is minor, imho.

The 369 Explorer-style numerals are quite tempting!

I do like the double batons and the small numerals a bit more than the dots at the indices.

Thanks for your opinion that both sizes work. I believe so, too, and that is making the decision hard! :)

My vote is 36 or 39. I think you will wish you bought larger if you get the 34.
