Datejust / Day-Date Question
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? |

DD40 looks way too big

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

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.

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” 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.

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. |

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

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.
