DJ+ the fairer sex!

[jolimont]

Hi
I'm looking at getting my fiance a TT DJ as a wedding present, and looking at either the 36 or 31 ladies DJ. She has a ladies Cartier Santos but says that she needs to squint to tell the time. So I'm thinking the 36 (plus maybe I can wear it lol)
Is it possible to size a 36mm DJ jubilee bracelet to fit a 6 inch wrist?

Also can we see some pics of DJs on ladies wrists?

Cheers

[Peppers90]

See pics below. I have a small wrist~ the Cartier love bracelet is size 16 (smallest size). I would think you can get the jubilee fitted, I have had two links taken out of each of my oysters.

26mm DJ



31mm DJ

Yes. I have a 7.5 inch wrist, and my wife wore my datejust for about three months. I don't know the size of her wrist, but she is tiny. There are many removeable links on a jubilee bracelet. The watch looked great on her too! And we actually did go back and forth wearing it for awhile. Get the 36!

Hey, there's the side-by-side shot right there, Shannon. A subtle difference... just a little more presence on your wrist with the 31mm. Then again, all of those diamonds might be helping, too.

Worth noting, though - if her wrist is any smaller than 6 inches you might find a 36mm DJ fits a little loose even with all of the removable links taken out. I have an older DJ Turnograph that fits a little looser than I'd like, but I don't want to take out a permanent link.

Shannon that 31 DJ looks

Thanks for the advice Lisa
If a jubilee is loose does that prevent or encourage stretch?

More pics needed!

The watch looks great next to the love bracelet, my wife wears hers on opposite wrists

My wife prefers 36mm over the midsize. She is very petite.

Probably encourages it. But if you're pretty sure of her wrist size, you will probably not have to worry and can get a perfect fit for her.

36mm dj with salmon face fits my step mom quite nicely! And she has very skinny wrists.

It's simple, if she is sporty type, get 36.
If she is dressy and conservative, definitly go ladies.

One warning from personal experience, make sure to get the bracelet sized of it is jubilee with her to make sure it sits balanced, my has an extra link taken out at my 6 o'clock and it fits my wrist nice and snugged up, other wise it looked sloppy.

That lume is just crazy. Is that the DJ II? I thought the bi-color lume wasn't available on the 36mm DJ. If it is, I'm in trouble.

I thought about the same thing, 36 mm would make a great sport size for a small woman's wrist (and a classic size for yours).

The problem with that lume is that it NEVER lights up under normal conditions. Perhaps a faint glow during a daytime movie for 10 minutes. Pics like those are the reason I bought the watch. Reality is why it was sold three months later. Rolex lume =

My other half tried on a few options and eventually decided on a 36mm DJ on a jubilee. Not sure of her exact wrist size, but she is petite and I would guess less than 6 inches - and I think the 36mm looks great. As others have said, it gives a more sporty and less formal look, so depends on what her bias is.

Hi, this pic came from the winner of: "Best picture" Rolex Magazine online. I really don't know, I am a newbie at this. I just thought it was too gorgeous not to share.
Here's the link, btw there are some very important/interesting people featured wearing a Rolex in the article.

Looks like light sabers about to do battle!!!

This thread got me wondering about my exact wrist measurement - so I checked. It's 5 5/8 inches, which explains why my 36mm DJ is still too loose adjusted as small as it will go.

Food for thought if the woman in your life has a wrist smaller than 6 inches - a 36mm DJ may need a permanent link removed to fit properly.

I would have hoped that with the popularity of 36mm watches for women, the bracelets would have just a little more adjustability to them... one more removable link would be ideal.

My wife is 110lbs and has a tiny wrist, she wore my Dj 36mm for a while and it looked great. I removed all the links!! I think 3 per side. However she now has a 26mm dj 2tone and it looks great as well.

Glad you got a good fit. Does your DJ have an oyster bracelet?

My 26mm DJ with oyster bracelet could be adjusted to fit snugly, and so could my 34mm Date, also with oyster bracelet.

The bracelet for the 36mm DJ must be slightly longer even with all links removed. Or maybe there's a difference the jubilee bracelet. I've actually never worn a 36mm with oyster bracelet so can't say if it can be adjusted to fit a 5 5/8" or so wrist.

I really have small wrists; have never measured them, but jewelers have a very difficult time sizing things to fit them. I own a 31mm, picture for reference, and I had 3 links taken out. The removable links were on a particular side of the bracelet, and I actually had to have the AD "flip" the bracelet backwards for it sit centered on my wrist. I have tried on the 36mm and it is very large on me. I would say 31mm for small wrists.

Maybe that is how I got this to finally fit me. The oyster bracelet clasp has 3 spaces for you to "pin" the bracelet to, which allows for more adjustment. I only own 2 oyster bracelet watches, but I don't believe the jubilee has that option. So, I tend to agree with Lisa on this; maybe the oyster has a little more room for adjustment.

My jubilee is the old style - and it does have the micro-adjustment pin on the clasp. Even so, on the very last spot, it's still too loose. I'd be very curious to try the new jubilee on a 36mm Datejust... because I really prefer the jubilee for comfort. Maybe it even has more removable links, if the clasp isn't adjustable.
