Does 36mm look too small vs 41mm for me?

[sond86]

My wrist is 7.5" and

Does my DJ 36mm look like junior watch on me compared to 41mm Dd?



Good side shot of 41mm in rose and platty

No! The bezels in the new DJII are gauuuuudy

[Keeperoftime]

36mm is still my preferred watch size. I do love the DDII though.

reshoot with the camera further away from you wrist

36mm looks better

Can't really say much from your pictures..

I will say that generally, the 41mm DJ's and DD's look too big on most people.. They are just too large as a dress watch..

+1. It's impossible to say with those pics.

I think DD2/DJ2 look very nice as casual watches. The 36mm varieties are better dressy watches (ie, long sleeve shirts).

[Dr. Robert]

all look good...a Rolex oyster cased watch wears bigger than it's specs...

[jnkay]

I think the 41mm looks much better on your wrist.

[Len S]

I prefer the 41mm over the 36mm.

[mbuckley]

Either is beautiful---what makes you feel more comfortable---that is teh solution!

[GradyPhilpott]

It's not an either/or situation.

I'm wearing my 36mm DJ today and tomorrow, I may be wearing my 40mm Sub or my 36mm Explorer.

All three look great on my 7.75" wrist and I have other watches that are larger and smaller that look good, too, although I never wear my 34mm, anymore, since it bit the dust.

Forget about numbers and judge not only by look, but feel, also.

After awhile wearing my Sub, the DJ and the Explorer feel very pleasant.

love that rose gold ddII!

Yes and No IMO. The 36 looks dramatically smaller but I think the 40-42 is perfect in a sports model... Dress watch on the other hand I personally would stick with the classic 36mm

36 all the way, sooner or later like platform women's shoes most of are going to wake up and ask why. On most humans a 40 Sub as a sports watch is plenty big. Leave the sun dials to the yard. I did travel on a plane with the biggest human being I have ever seen. he was a massive polynesian and he had a 35mm face seiko or the like and he had as much skin either side of the watch as the watch was wide, but that is the exception in my thinking. If it is intended as a fun sports watch then by all means go for 42 as a dress watch the tradition DJ with a nice bezel is in my opinion the way to go.

But I prefer the look of the 41mm

Issues of fashion aside, I always think practicality tends to dictate what is 'right'.
If you have a big wrist - say 7 1/2inches plus then a 42mm watch looks in good proportion whereas on a small wrist a big watch looks ungainly. You'd have to have a really big wrist for a 36mm watch to look "too small". Forget fashion - it comes, it goes.

They all look pretty good to me!

I tried on a 36 and 41 DJ the other day and I have 7.5 wrists, I thought the 36 felt really comfortable and it's the one I'd go for

Based on those pics the 36mm looks better.

36mm for me, seems to be just the right size.

[Rags]

36MM for me..

Take photos from further away so we can see some perspective. 36mm looks like ladies watch for me

X3. Yep I have seen where the watch length from lug to lug looked as wide as the "top flat" wrist surface width.

I wonder what's 36mm looks like on a big 250+ pound person

Here's a more distant shots of my last 36mm




And a WG one (not mine)




And my friends 10 year nephew wearing my 36mm on his small wrist
Looks real big on him.

[rolexgiants]

There is a reason rolex is marketing 36mm to women.... 36mm at best is a unisex size!

[floater156]

I think they look fine in pictures. However, pictures can be deceiving; I think 36mm look better in pictures but 41 looks better in person. Once you're used to wearing a 41mm the 36 feels like a toy watch. The bezel on the 41 is also much more interesting and looks a lot better. However, I'm also 6'6" 230 lbs so my point of view is probably different than the average 5'10" male.

I'd actually like to see pictures with your watch from further out (showing your whole body) to get a real perspective. You should also keep in mind when looking at the responses to your post that the 36mm has been around for a lot longer so you're probably going to get a majority of responses from 36mm owners and people always over value what they're familiar with.
