AK 1987 too small for my wrist?

Does this AK look too small on my wrist? I'm getting used to a smaller size case, I think...or am I?
My other watch a 1985 DJ 36.

I tend to sway towards larger watches and I think that still looks good on you

I’m not sure you could go any bigger, actually, and still maintain proper fit. It looks ideal.

Looks fine - they wear more like a modern 36mm due to the slim bezel.

To me, I doesn't look too small. But wrist-shots can be deceptive. It's better to look in the mirror, IMO.

There’s no too big or too small. Fashions change as does perception. I just don’t feel comfortable wearing anything other than my 44mm Panerai. Wear what you feel comfortable with.

Photos never do justice to the size of a watch on the wrist. I owned an Air-King once….for about a day before sending it back. The pics on my wrist made it look completely adequate. In real life, it looked tiny.
I’ll say this, if you think it looks small now, it will keep looking that way and it will bug you.

I think it looks perfect. Absolutely perfect. I gravitate toward bigger watches, but I think you made me want to look at this watch for myself. Looks so good.

Looks great, I do love a jubilee bracelet.
My favorite piece is a y2k 36mm date just on jubilee. So comfortable on my 8 inch wrist.

If you can read the dial it's not too small. I have a 14000 AK and I'm hardly small.

Fine to me - watch fashion sizes coming down anyway...not that it's of any importance, but actors Ryan Reynolds and Damian Lewis wear vintage 34mm Rolex - wouldn't have been the case 5-10 years ago!

It looks great! Not too small at all. I wear my 35mm WWI trench watch all the time.

Really like that watch - it looks great and 35 mm would be a good size for me also. I'm 6.5 - 6.75 +/-
