Totally agree. The original Heuer Carrera is 36mm and I think it still looks great. Wouldn’t want to go any smaller though.You do not want to get into Speedy then, LOL. Omega makes a million and one different versions of them. Although, I have been hearing rumors that they will discontinue the official moonwatch version of them soon and put in another moonwatch version with the new METAS certified 3861 movement whilst raising the price. I've also been debating picking one up before that price increase move soon.
I run 36-42mm as well. 42mm is pushing it for me, but I can do it if needed. I honestly think smaller is more elegant though.
And 10 mins thinking has added the Alaska Project and Moon to Mars to that list!
