That's good to hear! I hope it's a keeper for your sake. I, too, thought the Exp36 would work, especially for my 6.5" wrist which is considerably smaller than yours, and especially after reading so many encouraging posts like the ones here. So, despite some hesitation, I went ahead and bought it even though my sweet spot has always been 39 or 40mm in Rolex sports models like my GMT-Master. When I finally received it and put it on, I tried hard to convince myself that, while true...it is noticeably small ("boy size" as my wife referred to it), I'll get used to it -- just as many forum members had suggested would occur. Well, within that same week, that beautiful Exp36 was gone and an Exp39 MK2 was gracing my wrist. I find the 39 to be absolutely perfectly proportioned for my wrist size, as it would equally be for yours. Not clear from your posts exactly what your aversion is to the 39, but I'd bet dollars to donuts that you'll be wearing a 39 (or 40) as soon as you can find a buyer for your 36. It was a costly lesson for me inasmuch as I should have heeded my doubts and gone with my instincts in the first place.

Nah, I don’t think I’ll go for a 39mm. I honestly really like this little watch. I have no intention to flip this watch |

36mm is the right size for the proportions of the watch instead. Larger wrists only require more bracelet links IMHO ;)
