I’m thinking this is gonna be my exit piece when I retire in a few years. To ME this is the best size DD and the white dial is just so clean. You can literally wear this with gym attire or a black tie. So versatile.

Congrats on a stunner!

36mm is the new 40mm....

I do like 40mm however, but good for you 36mm works too.

Don’t care what anyone says 36mm is the perfect size for a day date no matter if 4, 5, or 6 digit. And I love the proportions of the day date 40 but to me the 36 is perfect blend of case and bracelet size. To me the case of the 40mm seems to overpower bracelet.

I tried on the exact same watch in the 40 and it looks amazing. Something about the gold romans on the white dial. Congrats

Absolutely and the dial size is too large on the 40.

The DD36 has the same size dial and crystal as the 40mm sport pieces. 29.5mm to be exact.

I prefer 40mm, but that’s because I have 7.5” wrist. 36 is great on smaller wrists.

Not a fan of the roman numerals, but on this configuration it looks great. My choice would be in white gold. 36 is the perfect sizes for most people. Congrats and enjoy.
