Go and try on a 36mm?

Hi! welcome to TRF!

My wife wears a 31mm as well and i feel its the right size for most ladies, looks classy without looking too dated if you have any concerns about that.

Her wrist is on the small side so 31mm is plenty big for her.



I suggest keep the 31mm because it looks great on you, maybe if you want a bigger watch look at the daytona as a 2nd Rolex

*** BTW my wife's name is Lavinia too

31 looks great on your hands. 36 seems to like it might be too big. Nice nails.

I think the 31 mm looks perfect but I do think you could wear the 36mm also, from a size point if view. I would stick with what you have. If you ever decide to buy another then try the 36mm

I think you can wear 36mm as well, try both on and take some pics for us.

That 31 looks great on you. I'm sure the 36 would as well. Really depends on the look you want. The larger the dial, the more casual the vibe

31 is fine. 36 is fine also. The grass is always greener on the other side thats why so many people own multiple watches.

Hello to all,

Thank you very, very much for all your messages, it was a real help for me since I was a bit sad with my choice. I am 32 years old, maybe that is why the trend seems important for me, I have decided to try again DJ 36 mm just to make sure that 31 mm is the best for my wrist and my style. In one week I will fly to Amsterdam and I will try there. (In my country, there are not so many shops with Rolex.)
Thank you again very much and I will come back with a picture in a bigger size. :)
