It's one of the few men's Rolexes still in production that has retained its original size, from 1945.

Men's wrists aren't any bigger or smaller on average nowadays than they were in the 1940s, '50s, '60s, etc .... when the 36mm DJ was the quintessential Rolex. Not sure why some guys think it's too small today.
