40mm divisive, but I’m too Husky to pull off the new 36mm

Going as large as 36mm is permissible for a tool watch like this.

·

This poll is fundamentally flawed as it doesn't distinguish between new 36mm with 19mm lug width and old 36mm will 20mm lug width 😕

·

I tried the 39 Tudor and it felt too small for me ,so I'm guessing the 40mm explorer will fit perfectly

·

I've tried the modern 36 a bunch of times... Wears soooo much smaller than my DJ36. I vote Explorer 40!

I do prefer the 36mm but with the old references (114270,14270). Something about the new 36 is just off for me. I guess it‘s the bracelet and the lugs that are narrower and mess up the proportions for me.
