31 for sure. Diamond dial looks great with your tennis bracelet. :-).

Have you tried 34? I feel like that would be the perfect compromise.

31mm by far. DateJusts wear larger than their size suggests. I know the trend is for larger watches but the 36mm is too large on you but the 31 looks great and would be a superb choice.

31mm for sure. My wife has worn the 31 for about 18 years now and still loves it.

31mm, love the way the diamonds on the dial match your bracelet. My mother has a very similar bracelet to yours.

31mm. My wife went with 31mm too.

Although 31 seems good on your wrist, it also depends how tall are you. If you are tall, you should be able to carry off the 36mm if you like bigger sizes.

For my wife, she went for 31mm as a dress watch but because she is tall, sometimes she did wish she has a bigger watch. So she is now wanting the 40mm hulk.

My wife is a beautiful fashionable blonde bombshell. Even she chose the 31mm.

For sure the 31mm fits you better. But I'm a fan of larger watches on woman. My wife has tiny wrists as well but I think my 40mm Daytona looks great on her. In the end get what's most comfortable for you.

In a DJ, I'd go for the 31mm.

I recently got my lady an AirKing 34mm. She found 31mm too small and 36mm too big, too thick. Air King turned out to be the perfect. You can also consider Date which is also 34mm.

31 looks better according to the photos. You could also pull off the 36, and it share wrist time with your husband if he has a smaller wrist also.

Firstly, good for him getting you a fine piece for your anniversary. My wife and
I hit our 20th this past December and we got new watches.

She had been with a 26mm TT DJ for the past 15 years and began to think it was too small and a bit old fashioned. Being just 5 foot 1 inch tall we looked at the TT DJ in 31mm. This seemed to fit her quite well so we went with that.

Bigger than 31mm we both felt that its use would be limited. More casual than for use in a professional environment.

In short, 31mm, while still feminine is very fashionable and fits in all circumstances.

31mm. No doubt about it. Your wrist appears very small, you can probably pull off a 26mm too. The 36mm overwhelms your wrist.

My wife's wrist is similar in size to yours and she wears a 26mm DJ. She recently tried on a 31mm DJ and it looked very nice.

Go for a 31mm. You will not be disappointed.

My wife started out with a 31mm, then switched to a 36mm and has now just gone back to 31mm again

I think the 36 looks great on a lady when dressed casually but she found it looked a bit too big when 'dressing up'

31mm does the job for all occasions and is a great all rounder
