Hi
Very little Rolex knowledge & experience of the watches, so your thoughts welcome.
Those that I have tried - both 36 & 40 mm of current iteration & the 39mm.
While it's a few years since I tried it I can remember I didn't get along with the 39mm as I thought the proportions were a bit off. The bezel felt out of sync with the watch, just a bit too chunky.
Tried both current versions & the wearing experience is very close & to my eyes the newer 40mm is much better proptioned. However, still think if I were to get one I'd still have to go for the 36 - as is the classic size & I'm slowly going to smaller watches.
I'd agree though the taper on the 36 bracelet is a lot - but felt fine when I tried one on.
Cheers

I had a bit of time a few days ago and ventured into a gray dealer to check the multple variations of the explorer1. It's always good to see what the crown has to offer, even if I don't own any as of today. Crystals had protective stickers on making AR co...

For tritium fans it remains the most affordable while not giving up anything in terms of water resistance and day to day resistance. I yet have to see a 14270 turning to yellow or orange like the 1016 or submariners, a pale yellow is the best I have seen ...
Yes, the patina on the 14270 is not mad...
Not mike those: But some can be very cool looking, like this one ( from Lunar Oyster ). ...

My biggest surprise was how hard it was to tell time under very bright conditions with multiple light sources due to too many polished surfaces and thin hands, possibly a matter of getting used to.
I don’t like big watches. There. My wrist is not small (7 1/2”). I wear often a Rolex GMT because I like that watch in particular. That said, my favorite watch is a 36mm Rolex.
The Explorer mainly. But I can live with just about any watch 38mm or less. My son-in-law owns a 39mm Explorer. I find it too big. I don’t mind wearing a steel bezel Daytona because it is thin. But the hands on the Daytona are somewhat difficult to read. ...
