Icon12 Show your 36mm wrist shots!

For years the 36mm for men were standard.

The -big @ bigger watches trend- seems to slow down again

So get your 36mm treasures and show them

36-40-44.... It's all good. I wear what I like, not a style or trend. All that being said, 36 looks great.

I made this comparison for another thread last week. I can't choose one over the other, but the comfort of the 16234 is crazy!

Great shot showing the face/dial size of the 36mm compared to the 40mm.

The 36mm looks better on you in my humble opinion.

36mm looks much better proportioned on your wrist

Thanks. The whole thing started with me looking at 1601s in the FS forum here. Then i decided I wanted a quick set date since I rotate through my watches. Then, sapphire crystal, then we're already modern enough, let's get a luminova dial instead of dead tritium. Oh, but the Super Jubilee really is an improvement.

That's how I ended up with a green seal 116234.....

Here's "my" bnib PT DD36 that I have had for 3 weeks. Still trying to decide if I should keep it or flip it to fund a PT DD40 (I already own a Platona).

I had bought this for my wife but it doesn't fit her tiny wrist even with the maximum 6 removable links taken out.

What do my esteemed fellow TRF-ers think of this watch on my wrist? Is it a keeper?

My bracelet measures 6 inches OAL. So, I think I am a 7inch wrist

I would not swap my 36 for a 40, so can't see why you would want to put additional coin in just because the 40 is new kid on the block, it certainly does not wear small on you........

Thank you Craig. I think the pt dd36 does seem larger when I compare it next to my 38.5mm Langematik Perpetual. Maybe I shouldn't be pining for the pt dd40 afterall

Your diamond dialed pt dd36 is gorgeous. Very classy.

Ken, maybe you can put the money you save towards a ceramic Daytona to go with the Platinum one, or part of the way to a Gold Pepsi or the so called new root beer. Your 36 looks perfect and yes it does wear larger than 36mm and is relatively thick as well.
