The size is growing on me Kip, at first I thought it might be to small, but seems ok.. seen a vid with a black bezel insert and loved it...and I think that makes it look bigger, I might consider an after market insert?
Promise to give you first dibs.... I’ll check out the other midsize variations, is all modern midsize variations the same size kip?
No, there is a little bit of variance depending on the specific model in many cases. I’m not an expert by any means, but there have been several within a mm or so of each other over the years. As a general range I’d say it’s possible to find anywhere from 36 to 39.5 before you go over 40, really.
I am not sure this is true within the SMP model family at least. In fact I am sure it isn't. The mid size SMP has always been circa 36.5mm and the full size prior the very latest model 41mm. The mid size is now discontinued. The depth has varied over the years, it has got steadily thicker but there has been no 38 or 39mm SMP model, unlike the Aqua Terra/Railmaster where intermediate (and larger) models were made.
Congrats
I too have the same watch in addition to two other 36mmm SMPs. I found that putting a leather band gives it a larger look. I think the lack of shine from the bracelet focuses your attention on the dial/bezel. I personally went with a dark blue croc band with white stitching. The blue closely matched the dial color.
I have a 2262.50 that looks larger but is the same size.
I have yet post photos but will try to learn.
Enjoy it
Thanks guys... Kip, do you have a pic of your collection somewhere on this forum? Assuming you have a variety of midsize?
