A lot of it is what you are used to. Although I have small wrists, I think I can wear watches over 40mm.

I bought my first Rolex last week.
I tried the various sizes. I have small wrists and was surprised to find that the 'standard' sizes of 36 mm were a little small, and that the bigger ones (from GMT II to sea Dweller) were actually alright. I finally bought the GMT II and it looks very good. Two links had to be removed from the bracelet. The 'intermediate' sizes (34 mm), which I thought would be the best for me, were actually much too small; I was told that many women go for those.

yeah, like i stated before, usually people go for the bigger watch. not because its a fad, but because they just "fit better". whatever.

To me the Rolex Datejust was like Ferrari 308 making Ferrari a household name. The DJ is the watch that put Rolex in mainstream. John you made a comment on 34 MM and the thinner the better, well the 36 MM DJ was perfect in everyway. I was told the 40 MM Sports Rolex were big and clunky in my early Rolex research. I thought the Sub was great but just plain boring. There were really no options for changing the bezel or black dial. I wanted a silver dial or something to get some sort of attention for the money. The SS Datejust is a canvas. You can modify it whichever way you want.

although im a biggish bloke(240 lbs- 6ft)but i have small wrists- i love my dj at 36mm, but when i got the planet ocean at 45mm everyone comented on how well it suited me, i have also tried on panerais and the 44mm suits me so much better then the 40mm, i had a corum bubble(god knows what size that was!) and that suited me too
