Well, if you find the sub too big, then I would go EXP. The milguass is the same 40mm as the sub, and might even be thicker, due to its faraday cage.

it's big but it still looks beautiful!
I think the 39mm explorer may also look large because your wrist is small.
Maybe consider a 36mm explorer or DJ

A 114060 measure 13mm thick n 47mm lug to lug.

So what are milgauss n explorer 1 dimension ?
I own a Milgauss it has a really lovely unique look with the green glass and orange lighting bolt second hand, the only problem I face with it is that it is heavy and can feel a bit annoying at times.

Yeah, a little tall. It catches on shirt cuffs. It's a tad heavier, definitely let's you know it's there.

Do you have a picture of your Milgauss on that green Nato? I haven't tried mine on a Nato yet.

It's actually one of those perlon straps.

No, but I know what you mean. This one feels heavy / unbalanced on the perlons.

The 2016 Explorer I (39mm) just makes it around my 7.25" wrist (no lugs removed) with the 5mm easylink extension just right for those days when my wrist expands. You will have to try them on to be sure. Good Luck! Cheers!

I'd go for the Explorer because it is comfier to wear and it is a good all around Rolex.

I own both the SubC and the 39mm Exp.
Explorer is more comfortable, but definitely looks bigger on the wrist! The lack of a bezel masks the fact that it is the smaller watch of the two. The SubC definitely looks and feels thicker though.

It took me a long time to warm up to the SubC. I still hate the cyclops, but I'm now used to ignoring it.
