I’m infatuated with PM right now, and have my mind set on a YG Day-Date. I have small wrists and own a SS DJ 36 (116234) that I love. Common sense would seem to indicate that the DD 36 would be the right size for me.

Does anyone own a DJ 36, and also opted for a DD 40?

SubMarine · 30 March 2020, 06:40 AM

DD40 looks way too big

Lemonvr6 · 30 March 2020, 06:50 AM

too big for who? Verne Troyer?

huncho · 30 March 2020, 06:57 AM

i have small wrists and went with the 36, would obviously get the 40 if i could but its a classic watch and looks bad (imo) on small wrists

Hollie_Rollie · 30 March 2020, 07:16 AM

36mm is the classic size

Agree

I have a small wrist also (6.5"), but I prefer 40mm watches more than 36mm.

Yachtbuoy · 30 March 2020, 08:55 AM

A mate of mine had a DD40, and while I don't think it looked too big, the proportions do seem slightly off compared to the DD36 (in my opinion anyway). I feel like the DD40 gets better dial choices, though.

agsstructures · 30 March 2020, 09:00 AM

36mm!!

wach16 · 30 March 2020, 09:03 AM

I have a 6.75 inch wrist and owned the DD36 but ended up moving to the DD40. I think it fills out my wrist much better and I like the extra heft of the additional PM.

Try them both on.. I had the 36 DD then in 2015, the 40 came out and my 36 was never the same to me.. to each their own, but I have a 40 now and is my final watch. (63 yrs old) lol

Happy hunting

I have 7.5 inch wrist, I do have a DJ36 and went for the DD40, in my case the reason was that while I appreciate the classic 36mm case I really liked the roman numerals on DD40.

turfmanjon · 30 March 2020, 09:49 AM

I have 7.5” wrist and have OP36 as well as DD40 white gold. Love both. Would recommend 36 for YG for sure and 40 for WG/RG based on dial selections available.

DD36 owner here. To me its the classic, it wear a little bigger than the 36DJ I have, I think it is the perfect watch.

jvb.nc · 30 March 2020, 11:56 AM

i have smallish wrists (6 5/8”) but i MUCH prefer the DD40. it fits perfectly to me.

cerendigit · 30 March 2020, 12:15 PM

DD40 all the way. It's the perfect size for most people.

Ofcourse you could also go for the 36, but the 40 would look better.

Frank McKay · 30 March 2020, 12:20 PM

Unless you have very tiny wrists, 36mm is a feminine size.

strettyend · 30 March 2020, 12:34 PM

Own both a DD36 (YG) and DD40 (olive). The 40 is much larger but the proportions are fantastic. I prefer the YG in 36 because its not quite as shouty in that size. Both are fantastic.

Ny325 · 30 March 2020, 12:43 PM

I have a SS 36mm DJ, and SS 40mm Submariner Date. Love them both on my 7 1/2 wrist.

Sorry, that’s just a really silly comment. 36mm is a total classic size.
