The small 36mm DateJust

The smallest watch in my collection... Attended a wedding last night. Usually this watch seems too small now, but it's perfect for the dressier occasions.

It's a beautiful watch and it's hardly too small for any occasion.

That really is a stunner. The DJ and DJ II line offer some really great values..that model is one of them!

I really like my 36mm datejust I get compliments on it regularly. I never felt like it was too small I wear it daily even with flip flops and tank tops.

Agree. Until very recently only wore 40mm+ on my 7.5" wrist. Now, I almost exclusively wear 36mm DJs. This too will probably pass for me but I am a smaller watch convert for now.

Beautiful watch. Personal preference obviously but i think the 36mm size without a bezel is just perfect just about always. As is the 40mm size with a bezel! But 42mm with a steel bezel is also quite perfect as it wears smaller... hang on a minute!

If that is your smallest watch then the others could be too large because it fits you perfectly. Gorgeous looking watch; nothing about it looks small on you.

36mm will always be a classic. Love it and it is perfect for formal and business attire. It does not get the recognition it deserves.

My grail watch is a Day-Date in YG. That is the classic iconic Rolex in my opinion.

I think they wear a little bigger than you might expect. Compared to my Sub (40mm):

Looks great! I love that size. My wife has one, and if the bracelet wasn't sized for her wrist I'd be wearing it all the time. It's a classic.
