Hi everyone!

Thanks again for all of the very helpful feedback (as well as for all of the congratulations and kind words - wow, much appreciated!).

So I am in Toronto for a couple of days, so I went to an AD here to have another look at a day-date in order to compare it to my new 31mm datejust. Although the day-date is a stunning timepiece, ultimately I decided that it is not for me (not for this occasion, anyways!). First of all, although I love the look of it on my from some angles, at other times I couldn't help but feel as if I looked like I was wearing my husband's watch.

What finally served to convince me that the 31mm was indeed the perfect watch for me, however, was that it just feels much more comfortable on my wrist than the 36mm. While previously whenever I tried one on I was focusing on how it looked, today I really focused on how it felt, and tried to imagine how I would feel wearing it every day. Truth be told, it felt not only too heavy, but just too bulky in general. As a few of you kindly posted out, I don't think that it would be well suited to my lifestyle with two little ones.

So, despite my uncertainty, having had an opportunity to give the day-date one more try in direct comparison to my 31mm has convinced me that, true to the majority opinion, my first instinct was the correct one. The 31mm is definitely the perfect 'forever' watch for me! That doesn't mean that I won't still admire day-date's and swoon over them when worn by other women, but I will happily wear and admire my beautiful 31mm. I also realized that given the price difference between the 31mm and the day-date, I could actually purchase a ss airking or other casual, larger watch if indeed I want to have the option of the fashionable look of a men's sized Rolex.

So, the happy ending to this story is that from the AD I went straight to the Rolex Canada service center and had them size and set my new watch so that I can begin wearing and enjoying it immediately!

Thanks again to each and every one of you for taking the time to chime in - it is so very much appreciated. I'm so delighted with my new Rolex!

Congratulations, it sounds like you made the right choice. It's good that you were able to try out how comfortable the two options are on the wrist.
