Explorer 14270 or 114270 is what you need.

Tell me where I can find that new and this question has been answered!

You might have to look at older models. I can't wear a modern Sub because of the maxi case & so I found that the 14060 worked best. Was a tad slimmer & lighter than the date version & although is large, it's not that bad. You'll get used to the heft of it. I was also able to try on an older Explorer II (with red hands...gahd I always forget the model #!) & it felt comfortable. Fit a bit smaller than the 14060. Check out the Daytona and as others have mentioned, it does fit smaller than its stated size.
The new YM comes in 37mm & a 40mm so that is another option when it comes out. Then of course there's the DJ if you want to go that route. The 36mm will be absolutely fine. Either colour in a stick version (blue ..LOL), smooth bezel, oyster bracelet (imo anyway) will have a sporty elegance to it.

What about the new Tudor Heritage Black Bay 36 or DateJust 36?

C.R.J. · 18 March 2016, 04:09 AM

Depends on how small your wrists are. I have thin wrists and wear sizes from a 34mm air-king, which is incredibly comfortable, to a 40mm BLNR that fits great with no lug overhang. I also wear a Seamaster AT that is that is 38.5mm and have included some pics. My wrists are about 6.5 inches.

If your looking for a professional model try the GMT Master II LN or BLNR. It has thinner lugs than the Sub (which does look large on me as a result of the more square lug shape). A Daytona would also be a great choice as it is thinner or even a YM I.

Happy Hunting!

Edit: Just saw you mention your wrists are 6.25... then it really depends on how flat/wide they are to avoid lug overhang.

I have never purchase from this site or seller so I cannot comment about anything besides seeing the listing. Good Luck! DavidSW would be my first call...

Thanks everyone!

Good luck! I am no expert on the matter but I have always been under the impression that buying a NOS may not be as great as it initially seems, especially if it has been sitting for many years with no activity on the movement. Many TRF members do not hesitate from purchasing pre-owned from a trusted seller. Many are in mint condition.
