Wrist size is not that important, it is what you like. For a long time, DDs and DJs were only in 36mm for everyone. And everyone was fine with them. They were actually considered big, as dress watches were typically 32 to 35mm.

Wrist shape also has a lot to do with it

According to my sources I checked. All 3 watches you mentioned, if on Oyster, come with 12 links, and 2 end links, if older reference, if bought brand new, from AD, and 11 if current reference. If bought on secondary market, the number may vary.

8.5 inch wrist and have gradually moved away from larger watches and am settled in the 40-42mm range. On sports models I have 1 extra link and on daydates I need 4 extras.

Used to always prefer larger watches however now subs, GMT’s and daydate 40s are the sweet spot for me. The only model I can’t wear(despite wanting to) is the Daytona.
