First Rolex TM 268622?

Hey everyone I am finally at a point where I’m ready to purchase my first Men’s Rolex. My challenge is a small wrist so I am limited to 36 and 37 mm sizes as the 40-41 look a bit big and I’ve never worn oversized timepieces. Perhaps I can eat my way into those but I digress.

I’m looking at the 37” Rhodium YM as my first purchase but have notfound many write ups on first impressions. My other option could be a DJ but while I like the SM I just can’t wear it so the 268622 seems like a good compromise . Anyone have any experience with it or even the 40?

It is a nerve wracking but exciting experience so far and I’m ready to take th plunge but need to make a decision some day.

Try the new datejust 41 jubilee smooth bezel with rhodium dial. I don’t think I have seen a better looking Rolex. Im a huge fan of fluted but that exact combo I listed Is killer. And the DJ41 is actually 39.5mm and wears even smaller with the jubilee bracelet. If I had a smaller wrist this is the watch I would get. It looks so modern and cool and I like it better then the 37 yaghtmaster. You will see that watch on a lot of woman. The new DJ41 is hot for a man with smaller then 7inch wrist imo .

Agreed with you! Just keep carefully your DJ41 to prevent scratch onto the smooth bezel. I got a bad experience on keeping my DJ41 smooth bezel. Congratulations, Bro! You had a good choice.

How small are your wrists.

I'm a female and I have 6.25 " wrists and I wear both the 37mm and 40mm watches.

If I were you and your wrists are not smaller than mine, I'd go 40..

That dj above is gorgeous as well.
