Thanks my friend - I was offered the 36 and it's on hold with a partial payment. I was 2nd guessing it, but this feedback is encouraging (as I keep going back to 36 for me being the right one - even with a 7.5" wrist)
Thank you all for your kind support & thoughts. Neither the 36mm OR 40mm spoke to me (I still love the Explorer Dial) and I passed on the 36mm, so another enthusiast can enjoy it.
36mm case size is ok, but bracelet tapers too much
40mm bezel and bracelet are too wide.
Considered prior 36mm (114270) but like the 369 lumed.
The 39m (214270 MKII), has a lot of thoughts on proportions in the community and I havent tried it. Also cant find it at a decent price.
Guess will just live with the Lorier Falcon III for now.
The thing on the 40 that has felt weird to me is the size of the bezel (its chunky / wide) and the 21mm bracelet width (gives an integrated feel); and in the process loses the vintage charm.
Though as a unit the 40mm is well designed...
