31mm is the way to go. When you are in your 50s you will want to be able to read the darn thing and it is not a huge watch

26mm is, in my opinion, much more elegant.

As I stated before, it's Elegance vs Sportiness

I think 26 looks nicer on you. It gives a more classy look

Food for thought. I think i have read where Rolex will be discontinuing the 26mm.

I picked up the 31mm with Rhodium dial for my wife. Looks great on her and she absolutely loves it.

More importantly, the White bowling shoes with the Silver tips look fantastic.

My wife likes her 26mm. She did not like the 31. She is smallish. Whatever feels best to you.

My wife is also petite and has a 31mm DJ-looks great on her.

Both fit you well. I prefer the 26mm.

My wife is 5'10" and of average build but has small hands (size 4 1/2 fingers). She wears a 26mm and has pushed back on taking my old 36mm DJ. We have yet to try a 31mm.

Both look good, but like other has said. 26mm looks more classy and elegant, 31 mm looks more sporty. But I would say 26mm might work better as a all around watch.

They both look very nice on you, however, I would consider longevity of the style.
I would personally pick the 26mm as it is more understated and elegant. It will work with a wider variety of outfits and occasions and you will still be able to wear it in 30-40 years time with grace and elegance.

Having said that, that's just my opinion, you can't really go wrong with either.

My wife was in the same situation, she choose the 31mm as she wrote a 26mm for 15 years.

aprilish · 6 February 2016, 03:15 AM

Thank you so much guys for the replies! Its really hard to choose since both are really nice! I chose the 31mm for now, so i can have an everyday watch. Will reserve the 26mm for a two-tone watch in the next few years. Hopefully :)
Here's a pic of the watch i chose alongside my husband's.
I love it so much!!!!
