Guidance needed on first AP

[Pilliam]

I've enjoyed reading the various threads devoted to AP here and, having all I truly want in the current Rolex lineup (Explorer, Bluesy, DJ41, and SD43), want to get an AP Royal Oak. I'm leaning strongly toward the 37mm because from what I've seen on certain videos, I think the lug-to-lug dimensions of the 41mm would be too much. Of my Rolex, while the SD43 is the largest, it doesn't feel that way, thanks in large part to the Glidelock keeping it buckled down. From what I've seen online, it looks as though the AP 41mm flare to such a degree, that it wouldn't be comfortable on my 7 inch wrist. I've also seen many posts which indicate AP RO wears a tad larger than the diameter measurements indicate. Is that true?

Here's my question: for those of you who own Rolex and Royal Oak (particularly the 39mm Explorer), would the RO 37mm wear comparably to it?

Thank you for your input.
