Funny that you say about sizes as I was watching this the other week and its interesting to see how the 39mm and 41mm are very close on many dimensions. Great analysis on this video. I know stated dimensions don't usually reflect the actual sizes in real life but these are very close in most 'cases', ha:

Unfortunately he doesn't have the same comparison for 36mm vs 39mm which would be interesting, im sure its out there somewhere anyway. One interesting thing that I did learn though about the 36mm vs the 41mm is that the hour markers are slightly different even though the overall design is the same, minus hand size and text spacing etc.
The 36mm markers are bevelled on all four sides, the 41mm is only bevelled on two.
Prefer the 36mm markers.
