I have the 36mm, since 2009, and the Explorer II 40mm, since 2011. 17cm (6.75inch) wrist. I must say I rarely wear the 36mm these days. It looks great on pictures and the ocasional glance, it should be the Goldilocks size, but it’s small when I look directly at the wrist, especially if 39/40mm is your sweat spot. When I wear it for a few days I get used to the size, and it’s a stunning watch, but it doesn’t have, I think, that wrist presence satisfaction a 40mm watch has. On the other hand, I tried the Explorer 39mm a few years ago and it felt chunky, perhaps because the dial is wide and has a slim bezel.
What I like most about this hobby is that you can have a Rolex next to a Casio and appreciate them equally.
Congrats 👏👏👏 I know exactly what you mean. I have a few watches I don’t wear enough but that have a point in the collection. I try to keep it under 12 watches, not easy. Sell to buy, not necessarily for funds but to keep it streamlined. I also have a few higher end pieces I don’t wear and should sell but can’t, you know, sentimental value, for the kids one day 😜
Hi, I think it depends on the city, it was readily available but was sold the next day. The ranger was also on the display.
That‘s the point. I made that mistake in the past and it is exactly as you describe. But I really like the Formex also, and it is versatile for straps, plus that incredible clasp. The Zenith, on the other hand, “feels“ like true horology on wrist.

Thickness is definitely not an issue!
