Its actually big on your wrist. Watches were 30mm for 40 years.

The good thing is, the smaller the watch, the larger you look.

Yes that is so true.

For guys with smaller wrists like us (mine is 6.25"), there's nothing wrong with a 36mm DJ. Looks great on you.

And I'm not the kind of guy that shies away from saying a watch doesn't look right on someone hah.

I am getting my jubilee bracelet resized and I cannot wait to rock my DJ 36 daily. My bracelet is a folded link bracelet so i had to find a specialized jeweler to do the work. Lux Bond and Green did not have the right tools to do the adjustments.

You definitely made the right choice with your DJ, it looks perfect on your wrist.

No. 36mm used to be the right size. But times have changed. 40mm is the new minimum, 39mm if you really have no choice. But 36? It's even small for women now.

I feel bad about this too because I have a DJ 36 and a DD 36 that I haven't worn in years.

Before any of you guys jump me, the OP asked for opinions and I gave my honest one.

John Ireland · 10 January 2018, 04:50 PM

Anytime you are wearing your 36mm DJ and you suddenly get size worries, just stuff a couple of sweat sox in your shorts. That's what most big watches are. Form over function.

rolexdream · 10 January 2018, 06:56 PM

I think it looks in proportion to your wrist size i have a smaller wrist and 36mm fits well, but i then try my 41mm DW and i prefer the slightly bigger face so its just getting used to the size.

daveo5 · 11 January 2018, 07:09 AM

Wear what you like and fits. Don't let other opinionated individuals dictate Your watch.

hn4rolex · 11 January 2018, 09:02 AM

Now, this thread wouldn't be complete without some enabling...

I have found that if a 36mm looks good for my wrist size, the 39mm offerings also look great on my wrist:) I recommend you go check out the new OP and Explorer 1.

stefs · 11 January 2018, 09:06 AM

Looks fine, just give yourself a little time to get used to it. I was the same when I first got my op36 but I find it just so now

mitadoc · 11 January 2018, 09:24 AM

This size didn't work for my wrist. Good luck!

Calatrava r · 11 January 2018, 10:59 AM

Is that a roulette on a black dial? Keep it.

Juantxo · 11 January 2018, 11:21 AM

Unless you are 6’10”, 340lbs, or bigger, the 36mm Rolex is perfect. And even then, I’d wear it.

Hpozzuoli · 11 January 2018, 11:28 AM

It only looks small next to something bigger.

kearez · 11 January 2018, 12:20 PM

Looks great, I have almost the exact same combination but with a fluted bezel. It fits you perfectly I would said the 41 was too large for your wrist.

nick c · 11 January 2018, 12:23 PM

Love the Dj 36 🤟

It looks very good! Don’t let the fashion brigade tell you to go and buy 55 mm watches because they are more “masculine”, who cares

panu1000 · 13 January 2018, 11:59 AM

Give 36 to your wife and find DJ41 for you.

I have a 6.5" wrist and started with an oysterdate, moved on to a classic datejust, the back to a date model. I like how a 34mm case fits me. Never got into the big watch fad.

Paul7 · 14 January 2018, 03:58 AM

The 36 DJ looks good on you. I see guys here with small wrists and huge watches and I just have to bite my tongue.

Remember the black face makes it look smaller.

Spoonage · 14 January 2018, 04:03 AM

Looks fine to me.

SearChart · 14 January 2018, 04:06 AM

Perfect!

famatta127 · 14 January 2018, 04:57 AM

OP...really curious as to how big your wrist is?

Brny11 · 14 January 2018, 07:28 AM

It’s a small watch by today’s standards, but actually looks great on your wrist. Unfortunately too small on mine - my wife lets me hear it every time I try one on.

Fits perfectly on my 6 inch wrist, not too large that it attracts attention and not too small to be a woman's watch

TacticaLCawacoL · 14 January 2018, 11:21 AM

I have a 6,8 wrist and i wear the 36mm Datejust very often for work.
It fits perfectly under the sleeves and i keep the 40mm Rolexes for the end of the week or the holidays.
Looks great on your wrist, i do have the same with the blue sundust dial.
