That looks good on her I really wouldn’t suggest her to go higher not even to a 31 my partner wears a 26 and it looks very elegant and classy

My wife-to-be has a SS 36 mm DJ with diamond dail/bezel, but gravitates more to the rose gold of my 40 mm TT CHNR. I see a lot of women wearing Subs, GMTs and Daytonas.
This is the age of the toolwatch, women know what is in fashion and hot.

Totally agree. My wife wore a root beer for a while and my mom Older lvc. She loved them and rocked them well. They looked great on her. Big watch. Bigger boobs haha

Little machines · 31 December 2019, 09:36 PM

Usually 31 thru 36mm perfect size . Also diamond bezels on Rolex’s works for my wife . DJ perfect watch ! Good luck!

Rags · 31 December 2019, 09:41 PM

It all depends on the size of the women's wrist. My wife is good with 34mm-36mm

Leasky · 31 December 2019, 09:42 PM

Short and thick does the trick apparently.....

I have to be honest, due to her tanned skin tone the CHNR looks better on her then on me.

LuminousMaximus · 31 December 2019, 10:24 PM

Bought my wife a Brand New YM RG 37 and 1 month later she wanted me to trade that in and get the YM RG 40...

What size is her wrist?

Have her try some on, then you will know.

ninjin · 31 December 2019, 10:43 PM

I think your 'mummy' has to try them in for size. There is no right or wrong size. Everyone has different wrist sizes and that's what is the deciding factor. My wife can't even pull off a 36mm.... Her 28mm is on the smallest factory bracelet adjustment. Any smaller and it would have to go back to Rolex to have a smaller bracelet.

Agreed...It does depend on the watch! Whatever SHE feels comfortable wearing and doesn’t look like a dinner plate on her wrist.

G.D.BeanCounter · 31 December 2019, 10:55 PM

It is all a matter of preference. My wife abandoned the 26mm for 31mm, which she feels is perfect for here datejusts. For a more sporty look, she wears a 36mm Oyster Perpetual. She has about a 6.25 inch wrist.

Wingslogo · 31 December 2019, 10:56 PM

Whatever size she wants.

My wife likes 34-37mm

My wife and I spent some time at the Rolex store in NYC recently. It was the first time she really shopped them. She’s 5’4” with petit wrists and preferred the 31. She also likes the 28 in purple (they don’t come in 31, they said) but from a size POV, the 31 was a perfect balance. She fell in love with the mother of pearl face. I must admit it’s sharp.

CountryRoads · 31 December 2019, 11:15 PM

The 28mm Datejust is right for my wife, and she has about a 6.5 inch wrist. Smaller watches look more "elegant". Most men aren't looking for feminine elegance, but many women are. Big sports watches on women might open up more options, but its at the expense of elegance. If I was going sports watch for a woman, I wouldn't go above 34mm. This is obviously general rules of thumb, as size of wrist/application/style all come into play.

HogwldFLTR · 31 December 2019, 11:16 PM

Mary has no desire for anything other than traditional sized ladies watches. She has loved both the Rolex and Tudor she has!!! Similarly because of her work as an RN she prefers the less adorned models.

CountryRoads · 31 December 2019, 11:16 PM

I really love the white dialed 31 mm OP with blue/white gold arabic markers (I think that's right).

31-36MM for DJ
36MM for DD
40MM for Daytona

Dont agree on the DD40 .Think for a tall athletic lady a DD40 will work very well .

My wife has a YGDD36 /green diamond dial but she has very slim wrists .36mm is her max and that's all she wears.Two DJ36s, as well .

Panych · 31 December 2019, 11:52 PM

I think ladies can wear any size they like. There are no as strict rules as applied for men. I have seen a lot of ladies wearing even 50 mm fashion watches.

Yeah, she refuses to even entertain a 31mm, and I agree with her (as I should

).

rachelsung · 14 July 2020, 02:29 PM

I think 31mm is quite suitable for women.

I have to vote for the 28mm, it is a classic size, will not go out of style. That said, what size shoes does she wear? Size 6.5 or size 10? That will help answer your question.

mmaggi · 15 July 2020, 03:44 AM

36mm for a DJ is the only way to go for women

Paul7 · 15 July 2020, 03:55 AM

31mm, stylish without screaming 'look at me'.

I agree 100%. I've seen ladies wearing Subs and why not. Its different but in a good way.

Talbel · 15 July 2020, 04:44 AM

I love larger watches on women. My wife has an OP36 and a 40MM Explorer II and they both look great on her. She also has a Grand Seiko GMT Hi Beat which I believe is in the 38-39 range. The woman's stature has a lot to do with it. My wife is 6 ft and about 135 lbs so she can definitely pull off a larger watch.

She is looking Lady-datejust 28:279173 (with diamond) VS Datejust 31:278273 (with diamond)

I will share photos after she decided to buy :)

Bigger better generally these days. Maybe at least try on a 34 or 36. Otherwise 31.
