Rolex DJ41 on wrist

[IH95]

Apologies in advance for posting about a topic that has already been discussed too much, but I'm absolutely torn between the DJ 36 and 41. The 41 wears a little larger than I'd like, and 36 a little smaller. For reference, I own a Tudor BB58 and love the fit (39mm) on my 6.5in wrist.

Attaching a pic of the DJ41 on my wrist. Thanks in advance for your thoughts!

My opinion just go with the 36. But your opinion is the only one that matters!

Post a pic of the 36 on your wrist if you got one

Hard to make the call without seeing the 36 on your wrist. I think the 41 looks good, but again I'd like to see the 36.

[rmlovett1]

41 looks good IMO

[SaddleSC]

6.5” wrist then go with the timeless classic 36. I have the same size wrist and the 36 is perfection IMO

I have a 7 1/2 inch wrist. My 36mm Datejust gets the most wrist time. A classic watch, and I personally feel 36mm is the correct size for that style watch.

this. But also consider just how much "wrist presence" you want with the DJ? The 36 will be a bit understated in that regard, and the 41 will make a more noticeable difference - in that regard. The 41 looks great on your wrist BTW.

Looks great - I actually didn’t know if it was a 36 or 41 until I read your post. I would go 41.

Appreciate all the responses! Quite silly of me, but I forgot to click the 36 on my wrist when I was at the AD. But I plan on visiting another AD this weekend to try on both sizes again. I will click a picture and post it here then!

Totally agree with the point on how much wrist presence I would like the watch to have. Hopefully the second visit will make things clearer for me.

That works, but I have a inclination that the 36 will work just a touch better. Post a pic when you can.

From your photo of the 41, I think the 36 would be perfect.

[jed11]

Looks like a great fit to me.

[Notimetodie]

Wrist shots are always distorted and biased towards a bigger appearance than reality. I have a same size wrist and 41mm is perfect imo. Sportier, more modern size.

[DM101]

Datejust 41 actually is only 39.2mm. The dial of the 41 is only 2mm larger than the Datejust 36

This is from a YouTube last night someone making a comparison.

IMO go for the Datejust 41.

41

I’d get the 36. It’s a classic and trends are moving in that direction.

36 because less conspicuous and thus more classy.

I think the 41 looks good for you. Which variation are you wanting?
My first Rolex in 1984 was a 36mm SS Datejust fluted with blue stick dial, amazing you can still get pretty much the same thing now.

[Michael1968]

Looks great on you in my opinion

[Airkingchnr]

I can't see the problem ... that a bigger wrist would not solve

[Cru Jones]

TT fluted bezel and jubilee? I would go with 36 for all but the most rare wrist sizes.

36

[996marty]

For me that 41 looks fine and makes it standout

[herts9]

Usually a fan of bigger watches and while this doesn't look bad, I'd opt for a 36 with a 6.5" wrist

[Belinus]

Which one feels the best for you? I think the 41 looks good. The 36 may also look good. I’m in a similar position an went for 41

If you like your BB58 at 39mm, then surely the DJ41 as its a similar size.
Unless you want something smaller this time?

Def 41

Looks good to me.

Easy way to tell, the 41 has numbers between the hour markers and rehaut.
