36mm looks better on your wrist. And it has the perfect proportions for the watch.

Having the 41mm OP, I can tell you that while it’s not a big watch, it just doesn’t look as well proportioned as the 36mm, IMHO.

Although I love larger watches, for me the 36mm in the OP looks best. The 41 has too much open face space.

Agree wholeheartedly. I have a DJ41 and never wear it. OP36 is small but the proportions are better. plus the nicer hour markers then the OP41 put it over the top for me.

How long did they think it would take to get it to you?

Just out of curiosity, has your preference changed at all throughout this discussion and the responses?

Good luck with your decision and acquiring your OP green!

Appreciate it! I do like the proportions on the 36mm better but the dial is pretty small (or I probably just need glasses lol) and it wears small in the mirror. Honestly, I am probably ok with either at this point so we will see what arrives (fingers crossed!)

I've got a silver OP41. I have no regrets on the choice, but I too like the aesthetics of the 36 a little more.

The AD is pushing me to go with the OP36 (if/when it comes in), I'm guessing because it is definitely easier to get, and while it feels good on my wrist, I feel like it looks a bit small in the mirror (I am 6 feet tall with roughly 7" wrist). Meanwhile, I love the bigger and easier to read dial of the OP41 (if I can get one) but feel like the proportions are not quite as balanced on the watch, and worry it may be slightly too big.

What are your experiences with these watches in the sizes, and which looks better on my wrist? (OP36 is first pic from left and OP41 are other 4 pics)

Mate, 41 is big on your wrist, it is so obvious.
Also do not discount the heft of 41 if you wish to wear it daily, trust me it will bother you. For that reason I took my wife’s 34 !

On the wrist test, 36 looks like 35 and feels like 34.
