    It depends.

    Some watches suit their dimensions, and would look daft made in another.

    A 45mm Explorer.
    A 36mm DSSD.

    What may look fine and dandy strapped on the wrist now may look hilarious in the nursing home.

    I understand the desire for a bigger version of some of these, as in recent times I often wanted a smaller version of something for the same reasons.

    One thing though kk is that 36mm watches generally suit the average wrist size very well. With nearly 8" wrists you are certainly at the top end of the normal distribution and I'm not surprised you find 36mm to look too small. Mine are around the average and even I find some 36mm to wear a bit small if they have shortish lugs, narrow lug width and thin cases. I've usually solved this by sticking a nato on as it noticeably bulks the look up.

    That said, I think the 38mm of these will wear brilliantly.
