·This one is on my list, my concern is that it is a bit heavier looking than I had hoped for (and a few mm wider than the 33 or 34 than seems to be the smallest I see around).

I wear 34mm Constellations and 36mm really wouldn't be too large.
One thing to note is that some watches 'wear bigger' due to the dial/case ratio and case style.
You mention Seamasters - do you have a budget in mind ?
Dome dial Connies are simple and elegant like a Seamaster but tend to be a little more expensive.
Here's a couple of 34mm dome dial Connies with different cases - same wrist but the hidden crown version wears bigger
Hope this helps

·A 34mm watch is going to wear incredibly small for most men...
Well, it has little to do with what "most men" think, but how the OP feels 😉
Granted, I'm squarely in the girly-wrist-segment, so I'm probably just a little sensitive here 😁
The fact is that watches wear differently. Take a modern Nomos, for instance. These are between, what, 33mm and 38mm? Still, they wear MUCH bigger than that!
I have a couple of 32-33mm watches, and these couldn't be more different in feel. They are from the same era, but while one disappears on my wrist, the other one commands a different presence.
In this example, the black ring on the dial and wider bezel makes the Tissot appear (and feel!) like a much smaller watch.
I think the OP should try on some different watches, before commiting to a specific agenda, be it size, style or era.
Oh to live in a world without jerks...
If you don't like jerks, you've come to the wrong place 😁 😁
