When in doubt, do without.

Agreed. It's not the bezel you want... but that dial! Good luck with your decision.

That’s a great looking dial. Works well with smooth bezel. Would look good in leather strap as well.

some will disagree, but I don’t like 36mm watches on men.

ROTFL. I do like a huge sweeping generalisation. Rolex clearly didn’t have a clue what they were doing for 50+ years when 36mm was the only option.

The poster was offering a personal opinion on how they feel, which they are perfectly entitled to do so.

For small men, I think 36 is fine.
For those average size or above, 41 is a better shout.

I’m heavier build and go for 40-42mm, my wife who is small wears a 40mm GMT

36mm definitely has its place as a unisex watch.

I can understand not liking a size on one’s own wrist. I have a harder time understanding not liking a watch size on another man’s wrist. I feel like I don’t have any say in what others like and am simply happy to see a fine watch being worn.

Depends on your wrist size. I find 36mm too small on my wrist. In 41mm I'd be a taker.
