Which one do you guys prefer?

Both are datejust 36. One fluted bezel, jubilee plus black diamond dial. Another one is domed bezel, oyster bracelet with blue dial.

Wrist size is about 6.3inches.

Or should I go up to datejust 41? Didn't manage to try one in the AD but there was an oyster perpetual 39 for me to try on. Attached is the 39mm black dial op39.

What's your take guys? Any guys around here with 6.3inch wrist with dj41? Care to share some photos please?

I would go for DJ41. It will fit on your wrist fine. It wears smaller than 41

Mainly because it is smaller than 40mm.

Between the datejusts, I prefer the blue dial. I think the diamond markers make the black dialed DJ look smaller than it is. Though I also like the black OP. It looks very clean.

Haven't tried an OP, but I feel if not close size then a bit unnoticeable bigger. It is definitely smaller than a new GMT size 40. I have both.

In all honesty. You may want to consider a Date 34.

Those 36’s look like they are hanging on the edge of your wrist. The 39 looks like a dinner plate. A 41 may look like a giant saucer on you...

Put in in perspective. I thought A 41 was too much watch on me. And I am around a 7 3/4 wrist.

But if you are looking for a statement or presence I would go with the 36.

Checking your wrist shots again, I agree with NoVaSubowner in that your wrist is too small. I would stick to the smaller mens size which is 36. Between the two I would go Blue, but if I was able to configure I would go for the black configuration, but with blue diamond dial.

Blue dial out of the two the perpetual looks too big on your wrist but that’s the fashion today but maybe not tomorrow

What about blue with fluted bezel and jubilee? They look good

Blue dial, but with a fluted bezel.
Do the 36mm still come with the Roulette date?
The 41mm,imo, wears slightly smaller that its dimensions.

I would find the blue dial in the 41 with the jubilee bracelet and fluted bezel. A stunning watch and it is not 41 mm. No issues with size once the bracelet is adjusted appropriately.
