Cant decide between DJ 36/41

[rolexdream]

Hi

I am looking at buying my next watch, either a DJ or OP 36/41mm and cant decide if 41mm is too big, as my wrists are pretty much 6 inch (maybe a tad over) and quite skinny. I have previously tried on a DJ 41 and it didnt feel too big but has a large wrist presence . But im thinking a 36mm will be lighter so easier to wear, as i have a sub nd (40mm) which i dont find big but not sure if it looks right? I have attached some pictures.

I am looking at buying:
Dj 36 oyster and smooth blue or
Dj 41 oyster and smooth rhodium or
OP green 36/41

Thanks

6" wrist go with the 36 for sure (and this is from a 41 owner)

36 all the way for a DJ in my opinion, although go with the one you like the best on your wrist.. I just feel like the 36 is more classic for the Datejust

My wrist is 6.5 inches and flat, I would suggest a 36mm Datejust. I wear mine as a dress watch and I find this size works best for me for this purpose.

Here are some photos for reference:

Thanks drawn to the dj 36 now and the sub (pics above) does at time feel bulky

36mm ... 100%. The 41 will look out of proportion. Good luck!

36 mm -- no question.

[Sprezzatura!,]

With a wrist that slender, why is this even a question?

The 36 is a great size. 41s look cool but look and feel just a little too big for a day to day wear.

Ditto what Mikes says

36. I have a 6.5” wrist and picked up a 36mm Tudor Date Day and it fits like a dream. I have watches that range up to 42mm. 36-39 is perfect for me they’re just not common. :(

I have a 7 inch wrist and I prefer the 36. Definitely my pick.

Here's my DJ36 on my 6.5" wrist



compared to a DD40



I have a DJ41 too, so if you want that wrist shot too, I will make one.

36mm DJ I'd say. Feel lucky...price and availability is probably a lot better.

This is DJ41 on a 7 1/4 inch wrist....

36 would look better. datejusts and daydates look worse when they're big on someones wrist versus a sub

[Tanalasta]

At 6 inch wrists easily a DJ36

I have 7 inch wrists and I ended il preferring 36 to 41. Especially if fluted. The smooth bezel imho is easier to pull off as an oversized watch

Thanks sounds like its a clear result! I am going to the AD tomorrow so will go for the 36, i think it will make me more likely to keep the watch on as im always taking off the sub when on the pc as it comes in the way!

[afmars]

36 all day every day.

For your wrist size, 36mm will be proportional. If you like the feel & style of larger watches get the 41mm. Either way you are getting a classic watch.

41mm. Women are wearing 36 and 40 these days.

I wouldn't want a DJ that was that big on 6" wrist. So I think 36mm will be most comfortable and look the best.

[stevecv]

36 no questions asked!

[Rollieo]

36, no question

[rolexdream]

Hey so i went to the ad and tried a OP 41 and they persuaded me it looked ok and didnt feel heavy so i went with dj41 and OP 41 as a preference. What do people think how it looks!

dj41 is actually 39 so by that logic it's a woman's watch lol

You can wear either but the 36 will fit you better. If you want to talk yourself into the 41 that's fine. You can certainly pull it off, but again the 36 will look at fit better on your wrist.

36. It’s a classic watch and the proportions are just better in the smaller size. It’ll fit you better and you later won’t regret it when the dinner plate size fad is finally over.

I think the 36mm would look better on you. I have a 7 inch wrist and can wear either but I prefer the 36mm as it just looks more proportionate but I do appreciate some people would just think it looks small. I love my DJ36 I think it is perfect at 36mm. I also have the OP 36 and the Tudor Prince Date+Day which wears the same.
