What is the diameter of the visable dial

on the DD36 and the DD40?

Still trying to figure which one to get.

Not sure but after owning the DD36 and moving to the DD40, it is definitely larger enough that it took some getting used to. I would say try both on if you can!

The visible dial on my Tudor bb36 is 30mm. By straight proportion, going from 36 to 40 would yield a visible dial of 30 x 40/36.

The first problem is not having an AD close enough to look at both together.

I have quite a few Rolex and Tudor watches. The Rolexs all have 40mm cases with a dial face of 30mm and the modern Tudors have 41mm cases with a dial face of 31mm.

On an old Tudor Prince Oysterdate with a case of 37mm, that has a dial face of 31mm.

That is why I am trying to find out what the difference is between the DD36 and the DD40.

Most of the Rolex visible dials are 30mm but the bezels vary in width. The newest models, such as the 39mm models, the Milguass, etc., have larger faces.

I am unable to measure the invisible dials.
