34mm on a guy
Just thinking about my next watch, as I like simple dials (used to have the airing 14000M) and checked this OP out, I liked both, the 34 & 36. Too small? this was the 34mm size.

To me looks good on your wrist, I would like to have a smaller wrist to wear the blue OP with 369 dial. |

Completely up to you.
I wear watches that range from 36mm-47mm.

There are no rules. As long as it makes you happy and dial is legible go for it. I'd very happily rock a 32mm Tudor Mini-Sub on my 6.75 inch wrist.

I think it looks fine
I wear 34mm as well, but I'm a skinny marathoner so anything much bigger looks a bit odd on me anyway |

I cant open the photo but I agree with sutats. There are no rules. Buy what you like and don't worry about what other people think is the 'right' size for a man's watch. I have a op34 white which I love. My wrist is 6.5 but it also looks great on larger wrists in my opinion.

Thanks I was comparing this to this grape dial 36mm that is $400 more than the smaller size

Looks great. Don't let the "number" hold you back. The 34mm OP dial wears much larger than what it is, the case diameter is more of a cushion shape allowing for a larger dial.
Here is the 34mm on my wrist. |

I wear a 34mm OP and a 43 mm Seiko. It's all good.

The 34mm and 36mm look about the same on a wrist. Question is which of the two you like more (double batons etc).

I personally found the 34 a bit too small, i have small wrists at a little over 6.5 but they are relatively flat so watches wear a little smaller to my eye. And to me, the 34 wears small on you unlike poidog who seems to look great with 34. My opinion though, go with your guy, I went with the double baton 36.

I love the explorer 1, but i struggle with it looking a bit bloated in 39 and a bit too small in 36 with the thinner lugs. That is what drew me to the 36mm black op, I think it is perfect. But i think you have chosen well with the explorer 1 39mm, i would have likely gone that direction if the plan was not to pass down my first two rolexes to my daughters.

Also remember that case diameter is not the only measurement that plays into how a watch wears. The shape, case thickness, and bezel all play a part also

1) Learn how to post pictures. I looked but felt really uneasy downloading a file to my computer. 2) It looks fine however you have plenty of room for a larger watch. Buying by price is generally not a good idea. Buying by what you like is the better approach. You shouldn't need outside opinions to make your choice for you. I can wear a 34mm watch and would if it was all I could manage. On the other hand, a 40mm watch on my 6.5 in wrist looks better to my eye.

400 wouldn't be the deciding factor for me . I'd get the one I like more . In this case dial more than size . Not a fan of the double batons. 36mm being a sweet spot , couple mm either direction isn't a big deal . If 42 is your sweet spot , 34 is going to be small.
Im 5'11 170# w/ 6.875 wrist -my last watch was 34OP olive. I'm loving the smaller size .Personally , I've had to experience different watches to get comfortable with 34mm . When I started out 36 seemed small. I've come to realize that nobody cares what watch I'm wearing. When I ask for opinions, I'm getting their preferences , not necessarily mine |

Have owned & worn several 34mm & wear up to 50mm. Worked out fine for me. Imo, its a great unisex sizing & catches the eye.

All personal preference. I’m a very slim guy and wouldn’t wear a 34mm. My daily is a GMT IIc and I’m thinking about adding an OP39. I used to own the men’s carrier tank fransaise and sold it because it felt felt too small.
Then again, some of the photos here of guys wearing 34mm fit their wrists and look nice. Get what makes you happy. |
