Pull it up your arm where it should be imo and take another pix.

I think it will look ok.

travisb · 6 May 2013, 06:24 PM

Looking good to me..

BogartB · 6 May 2013, 06:35 PM

I think it looks just right. but as the others have rightly pointed out, it depends on what YOU think... In my case, I have a relatively smaller wrist, around 6.75", but I think my DJ2 fits well. enjoy that beautiful watch of yours

MonBK · 6 May 2013, 06:39 PM

A beautiful watch but it does look a little too big.

Otto · 6 May 2013, 07:49 PM

Looks fine to me.

landroverking · 6 May 2013, 08:38 PM

Yes

siess · 6 May 2013, 08:44 PM

Looks good to me.

lsettle · 6 May 2013, 08:46 PM

Whatever makes you happy!

If I were wearing the DD, I would think it would be too large, but who cares...

I'm not a fan of over-sized watches, but yours looks totally fine.

SUBversive · 6 May 2013, 09:17 PM

You know to me it's on the big side and I wouldn't do it. But if you like it go for it.

To me it looks perfect on your wrist!

KeepTicking · 6 May 2013, 10:01 PM

36mm DJ is calling your name!!

Vincent65 · 6 May 2013, 10:11 PM

looks fine to me

SRQ · 6 May 2013, 10:19 PM

The "classic" Rolex size is 40mm, which almost anyone can wear comfortably and which will look good on almost anyone. You look fine with that one "extra" millimeter! I have small wrists but am comfortable with my Subc at 40, but also with a 42mm Anonimo.

kilyung · 6 May 2013, 10:54 PM

I like it

speedo · 6 May 2013, 10:56 PM

maybe a tad too big but definitely not on the ridiculous side.

So my advice to the OP would be to spend a bit more time viewing it from that distance, as most people won't be viewing it with their face oriened 5" away from your wrist.

He has a valid point. 36mm watches always look better in wrist shots than 41mm. Take a look at this 42mm watch on my wrist - It looks like a dinner plate in the wrist shot, but zoom out and it looks much smaller in proportion to my forearm.

darwin1992 · 7 May 2013, 05:59 AM

If you like the look of it, then it looks good. Thats all you need to enjoy your watch my friend :)

Alex Ks · 7 May 2013, 06:12 AM

Really? Dude, it's 1 mm. 1MM!!!

It looks fine.

ro1098s · 8 May 2013, 02:30 AM

Hey, thanks, everybody, for all the good advice. I'll think about it some more.... and try to post another pic soon, with it a little higher on my wrist; and from a better distance! Those were the most helpful remarks.... appreciate 'em!

mmmk604 · 8 May 2013, 02:32 AM

If I were you I would downgrade to a 36mm.
If Justin Beiber were you, he would keep it LOL

Totally up to you

ro1098s · 8 May 2013, 02:35 PM

Okay, I know I'm being a little obsessed, but here are a couple more photos taking the advice of a greater distance for the shot; and a little further down the wrist. Thanks again for all the good posts. Rodolfo

luvsub · 8 May 2013, 02:43 PM

Actually it looks pretty good in the second picture in the latest post.

BaltimoreBrian · 8 May 2013, 02:43 PM
