I recently heard, as is the case with the Daytona, that the DJ41 is actually less than 41 mm as is the Daytona's 39 instead of 40.
Could anyone confirm and what's its real size?
Thanks.

I think it’s 39.5 mm but I could be wrong

duc888 · 19 May 2018, 04:38 AM

That should be the right size...I measured the same with my DJ41.

So it's actually 39.5? Wow, and me who was avoiding that model because it's over 40mm. In other words, it's smaller than a Sub...

If the Datejust 41 is 39.5 mm -- as measured with digital calipers in other threads -- is there any wrist for which it is too large?

Actual case dimensions aren’t everything. It’s about how it looks and feels on the wrist.

I know, but my mind always said 41

My DJ 41 next to my 114060. The sub looks and wears larger.

If you want to use a ruler to measure the watch, put it under the watch, diagonally from 2<->8 orientation, and make sure your camera is directly (perpendicular) above it.

You're right, it reads 39 from where I see it.

Anyone have the actual Dimentions of an Explorer (214270)? Interested in the lug to lug for the DJ41 and Explorer.

38.5mm.

Does size really matter

toneafficianado · 19 May 2018, 07:02 AM

I have a DJ41 and it is 39.5 BUT the dial is bigger than my GMT II because the bezel is not as wide.
The dial is therefore seriously readable and the look is balanced.
Same with 216470 Explorer I think though that is correctly labelled as 39mm.
I have no idea why they call the DJ41 a "41" because it isn't. I just like it.

I disagree, I think the Daytona and DJ41 are perfectly sized. The Daytona in particular is a mechanical marvel. Rolex managed to put one of the most sophisticated and reliable chronographs in such a small and universal package. If you want a bigger Datejust, go for the DJ ll. It's slightly closer to 42mm.

Likestheshiny · 19 May 2018, 07:30 AM

Keep in mind also that the bezel on a sub or GMT is wider than the actual watch case, so looking straight down on the wrist it seems bigger than it is.

glamorama · 19 May 2018, 07:35 AM

Is the ceramic Daytona also 38,5?

I think it might be 39.5, or maybe thats the pm model...
Would be good to see 1 of them measured...

Ballzzz · 19 May 2018, 11:04 AM

Small

Xplicit · 19 May 2018, 11:08 AM

It doesn’t wear too big or small though. I like it much better than the original 36, fits perfect imo.
