The movement, in plain words

Hruodland lists the PT5000 or SW200 for the F029 36mm vintage Explorer. It is an automatic, so wearing it winds it.

How it sits on your wrist

Set your wrist circumference to compare the 36 mm case with a schematic wrist. The ellipse estimates wrist width and shape. It cannot predict your fit.

17.0 cm6.7 in around

This wrist model is about 56 mm across. The case spans 64% of that estimated width. The lug span ends 6.6 mm inside each model edge.

Wrap a strip of paper round your wrist just below the bone, mark where it meets and measure it.
