It’s dependent on what you’re looking for. Can’t answer that without more color.

2 Tone datejust with fluted bezel and Jubilee bracelet,

Can't decide which one because 36mm is classic and seem to be better fit for my 6.8 inches wrist but the 41 is so hype and retain alot of value now !

Do you want two-tone? If so, which gold - yellow or rose? The two-tone Everose is stunning with the Sundust dial, but the Sundust dial has been discontinued for all sizes of the Datejust EXCEPT for the 41 mm.

You should go to the Rolex website and go through the configuration process to see what other choices are (or aren’t) available for the two sizes. Will be mostly (if not only) the dial choices that will be different.

Better proportions on the 36. On the 41 bezel is quite large.

Buy the one you like most and suits you best… not the one that would keep best value…

I'd go 36mm, I've had a 41 and got rid of it and went back to the classic 36 which l knew in the first place l should have bought. The 41mm dial is to big in my opinion. Buy the classics.

41. Bigger is better.

In all seriousness, its down to preference, go to any local AD and try any 36 and 41 watches and decide for yourself.

Either way, you can't make a bad choice.

36 is the "classic" size, and most sold Rolex Worldwide.

"40" is the newer size to satisfy the "hey look at me" crowd.

It's a really tough call. You are right in the middle ground on wrist size. I feel like 6.75" and down tend to prefer 36 and bigger prefer 41. Obviously those aren't hard and fast rules. I really like both sizes and could go either way too. I prefer 36, but a few years ago I would have said 41.

If you can try them both on you'll know pretty quick. Jubilee bracelet will be a bit dressier and the oyster a bit sportier. Lots of variables. Take your time, look around, try some on, then you'll buy with confidence. Good luck on your search!

Pretty classic elegant layout you are looking for. With your wrist size as well I would go 36

36 mm for your wrist, without question.

The 41 actually measures 39.xx mm so keep that in mind.
