Here is a shot of a DJ II 40mm on my 7 inch wrist. It looks just right, I am thinking of getting a 36mm DD. 4mm difference seems like a big size difference, how do you think a 36mm would do on my wrist?

kareemthedream33 · 14 April 2011, 04:01 PM

Would look great.

SWIMPRUF · 14 April 2011, 04:08 PM

that djII 40 looks good on you.

SCD · 14 April 2011, 04:25 PM

It doesn't look like like you've been hittin' the Cheetos so yes a 36 will look as good on you as it did on everyone back in the 60s, before everyone started hittin' the Cheetos.

Dr. Robert · 14 April 2011, 04:26 PM

Both would look good!
The 36mm would look more subdued......but, IMHO, a Rolex wears bigger than its specs,
IMHO, the DD/DJ2 wear bigger than 41mm.

horseco · 14 April 2011, 04:34 PM

if you just took a 49mm Breitling super avenger off your wrist, the 36mm will feel tiny... I am not fan of "huge" watches... I like the look of the 36m case...I think its classic...

masterkiller · 14 April 2011, 04:39 PM

It is all up to you, I do not think anyone will loose sleep over that they think you watch look too small on yor wrist, but I personally do NOT feel comfertable with 36mm anymore, it just feel too small for ME, I have my limit at 39mm these days!

RanHong · 14 April 2011, 05:08 PM

It will look perfect

rockyn · 14 April 2011, 05:27 PM

Nah, go for it.

travisb · 14 April 2011, 06:45 PM

I'm sure the 36mm would look good too. I came close to buying a 36mm DJ a few times but never went through with it because of the size.
Try one on at your AD and see what you think.

Ha ha ha ha ha Brilliant.

Get the original 36 - Can't go wrong with an all time classic and original. The DJ2 looks like it's been pimped.

Grumpy Badger · 14 April 2011, 07:59 PM

My wrist is a bit bigger than yours, between 7.25" and 7.5". I wore a 36mm TAG every day til I got my Sub.

It's all a mater of personal taste, but I certainly don't think it looks "weird"...

how about a DDII? that'd be the same size as your DJII (since you liked the size) - problem solved

Andad · 14 April 2011, 08:03 PM

Looks really good Susan.

Problem is the price difference!

I'm considering pre-owned version before the current 36mm version with solid center link just have to find one that is mint with minimum stretch.

hmm...that does look a bit weird. Just kidding

watchf · 14 April 2011, 08:53 PM

I found another wrist shot of me with a 38mm on. Comments?

apeogre · 14 April 2011, 08:56 PM

I've got a 7" wrist and I won't go that small. But I like my watches to fit just like yours fits. Your DJII looks perfect to me.

Engi · 14 April 2011, 11:12 PM

IMO 36mm is too small for you.

Ciao

Caraptor · 14 April 2011, 11:31 PM

36mm might look a little small at first, but you would get used to it and learn to love it.

I have an 8.25 inch wrist and I think my 36mm Date Just looks great. I know the trend for many years has been larger watches but there is nothing wrong with a classy understatement 36mm Rolex DJ or DD.

Good old fashioned sanity.

G.J · 14 April 2011, 11:48 PM

36mm looks good one everyone, unless you have a HUGE wrist...

This whole ''36mm=too small'' stuff is located between the ears IMHO.

36mm wears very comfortable and looks sophisticated

Danand · 15 April 2011, 12:01 AM

It will look more classic. Perhaps you would choose to wear it in more formal settings and the larger one in more casual? That could work really well. And when the inevitable day comes when wrist clocks go out of style you will be prepared!

Exactly

Gerardus · 15 April 2011, 12:15 AM

36mm is fine.

R.G · 15 April 2011, 12:31 AM

I'm so surprised to see the responses on this thread, especially from the last four posts!

Very refreshing in my opinion...

gqllc · 15 April 2011, 12:36 AM

I have the same wrist size as you do. I also HAD the same watch. I ended up selling it and now I will wear my 36mm TT Datejust Jubilee when ever I want to. It does not feel or seem too small to me.
