Hey! from Fort Worth
Hi Everyone,

I am a newbie, I just registered today. I don't own a rolex yet, but I have decided I want one and I am in the research phase. I want to make an informed purchase. I look forward to finding lots of useful information on this forum. Thanks so much!

Nicole

I tried on a 26mm datejust a few weeks ago, I liked it but it was a little small. I don't know if the 31mm would be better. I have a really small wrist and could pull off the smaller size, but I am not sure. But so far I like the jubilee bracelet and I have no clue what else yet. Hehe!

Well if you think 26mm is too small, i would definitly go for 31mm. Plenty of nice lady DJ with Jubilee bracelets to be had. This is where the fun begins

From one new poster to another - hello and welcome Nicole!

Just one thought - have you tried on a 36mm? My other half also has very small wrists but is in the process of getting a 36mm DJ on a jubilee bracelet - which I think looks great.

Good luck whichever one you go for.

The 26mm is still a pretty standard size for a woman's watch, and it works well is office or dressier situations. My wife has a tt version, as well as a man's DJ in 36mm with diamonds and the 26mm is much better for many situations.

If you have a typical, small woman's wrist, the 26mm looks great and works well with rings/bracelets/etc. on the same hand. My sister has a woman's tt YM and a 31mm DJ, and they both look nice, but they are much more appropriate for casual wear. My sister has large wrists/hands and can wear the larger sizes, but they are definitely sporty looking.
