Is 36mm to small?

My 3 and soon to be 5 year old want to know if they should go for 41mm instead or possibly push it a little larger?

Take ‘em over to the Panerai forum, see if you can find them something in 47mm.

I shared your suggestions with them. My son doesn’t want to be too showy but has decided to up it to 44mm and go with a yellow gold YM II. He wants a bit of heft to his watch so he remembers if he is wearing it. I discussed options with my three year old. She cannot pronounce the “x” yet, so keeps saying “rolley.” Seems disrespectful to the brand so we will either go the 47mm Paneria route or hold until she can say Rolex right.

Last, and very serious question, should my son wear his YM to his semi-annual parent teacher conferences? I was thinking he might be okay if put it on a rubber strap?

Get DSSD JC and Sky Dweller for them now and put in the safe for 15 years.

Send them to the gym working out and give it to them when they turn 20.

I agree was going at it from the other direction...it has less overhang than 80% of the Skydwellers posted in whatareyouwearing threads.

Way too small. A Deep Sea Special would be a better fit!

Awesome post

I've been re watching the Sopranos and just love all of the 36mm's on the show.

Tony appears to have a 36mm YG DD w/gold dial (President), Big P**sy a 36mm YG DD w/ red dial, Uncle Junior a 36mm TT DJ. Carmela has a 31mm or 28MM TT DJ and on and on...

Up until 2007/2008 the biggest DD and DJ was 36MM.

I really appreciate the 36MM.

Cheers!
