First Rolex for small wrist recommendations?

[moting]

I have also a small wrist (~6 inches). I recommend OP34, OP36, Explorer 36, DJ 36

If I ever want a sub down the line I'll keep this in mind - thanks!

The lugs are smaller

And crown guards, bezel and case thickness. Oh and clasp.

a 36 mm Daydate would be a great choice...

Given what I have further read from your responses, I will stick to the OP recommendation, either 36 or maybe even 34 if you have a 6" wrist. They both come with stunning white dial options. A white dial 36mm OP is likely what I will go with next, but if I find an excellent condition vintage Datejust (I'm picky) I may take that first.

The OP 36 wears ever so slightly larger than the new DJ because if the slightly wider lugs, but to me either one were right. If you can, give the 34mm OP a try.

I'll also say that I did not care for the look or proportions of the 36mm OP in most photos, but as soon as I tried one on, it was perfect. Pictures can be deceiving.

Appreciate your help!

Could always go vintage. I have a 34mm 5500 Air King that is a perfect fit. I don't wear it nearly as often as I used to, but its a beautifully proportioned watch.

The answer is always Daytona.

For my first Rolex I would opt for a new one not used.
The stress that comes with an old or vintage one is more than I can take.
I would save and get it brand new from AD.
For your wrist, nothing will beat a 36mm DJ fluted bezel.

Daytona, YM 37 or 40, or OP/DJ/DD 36.
After much trial and error I’ve worked out these are the ones for me.

Everything about that looks perfect
