Thoughts on datejust 41 size on my wrist

Hey guys. I just recently picked up a datejust 41 to kind of “hold me over” until I can get my hands on a TT skyD. I’m by no means, unhappy with my purchase
but the other day in school I took a photo in the mirror to get a third person pov. It occurred to me it still might be a little small for my frame. I’m just curious on hearing people’s thoughts. I have 7.75” wrists. I didn’t have to take any links out of my watch.

Also, before I hear people say it, I know the datejust is considered by many to be “dressy”. I’m a union electrician apprentice and I rarely get to dress up. I usually only get to wear my watches on weekends when I go out with my fiancée. The day of this photo was my first week I had the watch so I was excited to wear it. Felt the need to clarify this since there’s always that one smart response. Lol

Looks good! But that mask covers your hole face, that can't be healthy.

Haha that’s pretty much how I feel having to wear a face mask in school all day!

And thanks everybody.

It’s too small. The DJ41 is 39.5mm. I went through the same phase. The SkyD will fit your wrist much better. They make larger watches for bigger wrist. I would recommend you try the SD43 or DSSD. They will look better on your wrist. Good luck.

I’m not the biggest fan of stainless watches. But it’s funny you say that. Literally just today I started looking into the two tone skyD and I’m liking it. This is a crazy hobby. I want them all! Lol.

SkyD looked amazing on me. But out of nowhere the prices shot up. I’m on a list supposedly at one AD. Most other dealers said it’s an allocated piece now so they wouldn’t take my info.

No issues but I think larger will look better.

Datejust II would look better on you.

I have roughly the same size wrist as you and when I tried on the DJ41 I also felt it wore too small. For this reason I stuck with my DJII which is nearly 2 mm larger in diameter. The Sky would be a perfect dressier watch for you IMO.

Also, are you sure about your wrist size? That looks like a 8 or larger from the photo.

Looks boss. I think the 41 looks too big on most wrists, but your wrist size is about perfect for this dress/casual style of watch. I think it's more acceptable for a watch to be larger if it's a sports watch.
