Hands-On: Rolex Sizes Up A Classic (Again) With The New 40mm Explorer
Anyway, here are a few details I noticed when I held the watch for the first time. First, it looks substantially larger than the 39mm model – the eye perceives that one millimeter as a substantial upsize. I found the bezel to be quite thin, making the dial really stand out, and accentuating its size. My wrist is about 6 ⅓ in., and the 40mm case looked a bit too big for me (my colleagues agreed).
