My 36mm DD is perfect for my scrawny 7 inch wrist

Just under 7.5. Tried this watch on in YG.

And a 40 for comparison

Don't confuse "Tony Soprano," the character, with James Gandolfini, the actor.

James Gandolfini wore a 40mm Submariner Date, which was reported stolen.
And even that watch looked small on him. He should have gone DSSD (not that it matters now).

Agreed. I have a 7.5" wrist and have comfortably worn a 44mm Panerai and a 46mm IWC Big Pilot.
But in the Datejust/Day-Date realm, the 36mm is ideal because you see the whole package, and the bracelet shines as much as the dial.
For me, it's not a question of size but rather of presence.

Probably the response that resonates with me the most.
