DJ 41 size

Hey guys...how much bigger is the DJ41 compared to the 39mm explorer? My wife is wanting a DJ and likes the size of my Explorer when she wears it, but i don’t know if the new DJ 41 is too big for a woman. Maybe I should just go for the 36mm DJ.
Thanks for the help!

DJ41 is 39.84mm across the case at the fattest part (the case curves outwards from front to back slightly).

How do I know?

I measured mine!

I recently tried on a 41mm DJ and it fits great! I’m female and wear a Daytona so perhaps I’m just used to the size. Very comfy. My wrist is about 6.3 in

In person the bezel still appears out of proportion compared to the lines of a 36.

I tried both on at an AD over the weekend because I'm homing in on one of those two as my next purchase. The DJ 41 is slightly - but noticeably - bigger/clunkier. I have about a 6.75" wrist and the case and lugs on the Explorer I just sit perfectly.
