I got big wrists and rock a 36 explorer. It’s just comfortable and sleek. That’s how our grandpas and other big balls men wore their watches.
I never wore 36 mm watch. But I have big forearms. Do you think I can rock a small watch?I got big wrists and rock a 36 explorer. It’s just comfortable and sleek. That’s how our grandpas and other big balls men wore their watches.
Dive watch in 36 mm would not look ok imo.36 for dress and casual watches, bigger for tool watches (dive watches and chronographs).
I'm a fan of vintage, and think that Rolex following the "Invicta: bigger is better" trend is a little disturbing.
Of course mate. I have the same (not fat but fit). A 36mm date just is perfect for example. If people can wear a tank must without a problem then you can for sure rock a smaller watch. It’s more comfortable and trends are shifting towards smaller watches these days. Wear what you like, that’s the most important thing.I never wore 36 mm watch. But I have big forearms.

100%36mm DateJust is definitely not too small. If James Gandolfini can pull it off as well as he did when he played Tony Soprano with his 36mm Day-Date then anyone can. And that guy was massive! It just takes some time to get used to if you have only ever worn big chunky watches. I think the proportions of the 36 DJ/DD are perfect for that style of watch, elegant and sophisticated. IMHO I think it loses that class when it’s ballooned up to 41mm, the dimensions just aren’t right and it becomes too gaudy.
I agree with this 100% as well. It depends on the watch - generally sports watches especially dive watches suit larger diameters, but there are some exceptions. The Explorer 1 is a sports watch, but I would argue it’s better proportioned at 36 than the larger versions36mm DateJust is definitely not too small.
