Perhaps it a combo of watch size and color of the watch too.
why would an AD salesperson talk you OUT of a DD 40?
Sounds nuts

36 for suit and dress shirt, 40 for everything else is the formula that works for me.

Voted for 40mm, but 36mm also looks perfect!

Close-up shots make the watch look bigger on your wrist
From those pics, I'm guessing from across a table, 40 and 42 look fine

I think the 36 looks perfect. You can pull of 40 as well, but 36 looks the best.

definitely the 40, though honestly the Sky-D actually looks good on you so there is that as well...

You can flip between 36 and 40 without issue but the 42 is too big.

Man, I think they all look great...I'm a fan of variety. 36,38,40 is all I wear but wouldn't rule out a 42 now the sky dweller is in ss.

36 and 40 mm IMO. To me the Day Date looks the best out of the bunch with the Datejust as a close second
