Yes, In my opinion, a lot of OP41 users here on TRF should have picked the OP36 instead.

To each his own, I preferred 41mm for my 6.6" wrist.

Scaling up 36 to 41 is how they ruined the Tudor Black Bay. The indices, hands and wording didn’t grow in proportion with the increased dial diameter. Ultimately the 41 ended up looking sparse and vacant in comparison to the BB36 - all just my own opinion of course.

It's a good thing they didn't short change the OP41 and gave it a unique dial and handset for sure. It's a little dainty for me but it feels really solid and classy. I like it a lot!

I wish there were a jubilee bracelet option and I wish the crown were a hair bigger. I'd also like some text on the dial removed. Other than that; pure class in silver.

Nice little side by side direct comparison video of the two sizes in the coral red

I really like the Red, Turquoise, and Yellow as my top 3 colors. Green as a distant fourth.

I prefer the 41, just because I have a bigger wrist. But I haven't seen the smaller ones yet. I want to try out a 39mm or 36mm watch to see if I would like it more

Whenever I've owned 36mm watches I always see them as small on my 6.5 in wrist. I just feel the 40mm size looks better. Its proportions to my wrist are perfect. The OP41 being sub 40mm makes it a perfect size for me. 36mms lack staying power in my collection. No matter how much hype they receive, on my wrist they fail.

My thoughts exactly.

I have a 7 inch wrist.
Tried both the 36 and the 41.
Much preferred the 41.
It’s a casual, fun watch. Not a dress watch.
Love my 41 turquoise.

Seriously 39,5 is too big for you? Author has 6.5 wrist and 41 looks perfect. You must have a baby-wrists.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KljVc8OCi60
