Yes too big for DJ. This size is fine for a sport model, too small for PAM

For all the guys that think its too big, what you guys dont see from the picture is how the jubillee bracelet compliments the watch size.

Get it in rhodium if u get it best color

36 would probably look better on your wrist.

I think you can wear the 41 if that's the one you love more but I bet the 36 will look better.

Looks okay to me, if a bit on the large end of what would fit you. If it were me, I'd make sure to try the DJ36 as well to see what fit best.

Looks fine. So long as the lugs aren’t overhanging your wrist bone then it’s good to go.

The 41 is a nice size. 36 is a classic size but can look a little on the smaller size compared to all the more modern references being worn in this day and age.

Ultimately it comes down to what you like the look of best.

It looks big on your wrist. Sorry. Only my modest opinion

Silver face? Try white, too. Size looks fine. I don’t like big watches.

Looks fine to me. I also have similar sized wrists and got the DJ41 and haven't looked back once. Great piece!

Looks good to me. DJ 41is a very refined time piece. I have mine in now and realize I don’t wear it often enough.

If you like the wrist presence I’d say it’s perfect.

I’d say that it’s okay but agree with others that it looks to be right on the border of being too big.

Definitely give the 36 a try before making a decision. Worst case is you decide you like the 41 better and that’s what you go with.

I have roughly 6.5” wrists and personally felt then DJ41 wore a bit large on me.

Looks great! I have 6.5" wrists and although it took about a week to get used to it, I wouldn't go back to anything smaller. Not even a sub or a gmt, which I now find too small.

It looks great on you.

Consider Date Just with a fluted bezel as that is what the Date Just is famous for. Also consider the Rhodium Oyster Perpetual 39.

We both seem to be in the same boat. I have a 36mm DJ on Jubilee already & have a Sub. I recently tried on the DJ41. While the watch itself looks good, it didn’t feel right. The one I tried on had an oyster bracelet, not a Jubilee though. If you do go for the DJ41, absolutely stick with the Jubilee. I’m going to hold off for a 36mm. I will say, look for an AD that has a 36 on Jubilee. Walk around for a few min with it on as opposed to just staring at the watch while perched on the counter. Having it on for a bit of time will give you a better idea of how you think you'll be able to handle it long term. When I wear my Sub, I know it’s not going to be as light as my 36, & for this reason, I wear my DJ more often. Sorry about rambling, it’s late & I should be in bed not on TRF reading threads. Lol lol

Looks too big imo. Go with the 36mm. It's perfect!

the DJ41 is only 39mm. Those saying it’s too big would they say the sub would be too big at 40mm? I’ve never seen anyone say ‘no don’t buy the sub it’s massive’ but yet the DJ41 seems to constantly get this ‘too big’ sticker attached to it.

My DJ36 with jubilee without any doubt is my most comfortable watch, I have purchased an Exp1 one week ago and I love it but in confort terms it is not close to the DJ36 with jubilee.

I got two shots of it from a bit further away, it should give you guys a better idea of the overall size of it. I also think I should try it with a dark rhodium dial, should make it pop a little bit less.
