Also 40mm is good. I guess everything between 36 and 40mm is perfect for me.



...but I was not so sure with 36mm at the beginning.

For you, I think the 36mm is better than the 39mm based on your pics.

Wrist shot pics rarely show true size................I have similar sized wrist & the 36mm is fine for me.

While I like the 39mm for me - the 36 looks good on your wrist. Nice buy- congrats.

This one looks better, not because of the size, just because of the color contrast
