I have the California dial model with the Mercedes hands. The 36mm size wears a tad small on my wrist.

It's big for her wrist, but she alternates it with her Hydronaut. It's the only way I could really justify keeping it and not selling it.
The California is a nice piece, and Rolex's final fling with that historical dial layout. Sadly they are no longer available here new as far as I can tell. It's mostly stick dials in silver, black or blue.
