When I bought my Explorer, I first tried on a 34mm Air-King because I'd seen one on someone else's wrist and thought it looked great.

I put one on my wrist and it looked to be the size of a dime.

When I asked to try on the 36mm Explorer, I thought, this is it. This is the watch for me.

Held side by side, the difference may not be very noticeable, but on my wrist, at least, the difference was like night and day.
very reasonable explanation

Thank for it

Do you think The increased size of the lugs on certain models makes 34mm look bigger or the same look than old model 36mm
