Ad must have had a Christmas shipment delivered!

Who thinks I should buy the 36!?

I absolutely love this 36mm day date. I got the call for this Oysterflex Daytona and was fortunate to try on a two day dates. 40 and 36mm.

Enjoy the photos, wrist shots never do the watches justice.

I'm still waiting for a call for that exact daytona OF!!

40mm is a must on the DD

nollie85 · 21 December 2021, 09:46 PM

Get the 40mm man.

That is no comparison.

1William · 21 December 2021, 09:51 PM

If it is to be a DD then the 40, it looks more proportional. The Daytona is strong so it would be do you want a bracelet or the OF. No bad decision here, only a choice.

Schweinwerfer · 21 December 2021, 09:56 PM

36 sized to your wrist is perfect.
I have both and rotate them quite often, I'd say the 36 is more dressy and thus suitable for events like dinner or Xmas or sich stuff.
DD40 is perfect for everyday wear like shopping, going to the beach and playground with children.
Get both and buy the OF Daytona in 2023 ;)
Daytona is overrated and oysterflex seams cheap on such an otherwise expensive piece

Since being unable to get a JM greens dial PM Daytona and trying on a YG DD exhibition model while in LA last week, I’ve talked to some ADs about possibly getting a DD 40. I was amazed how well it fit my wrist and I have always been a fan of the “President” bracelet. Fingers crossed…

vinny84 · 21 December 2021, 10:48 PM

Tried on a DD36 RG with Chocolate dial last night at my AD. I think DD36 is a perfect size for the DD. Either way you can't go wrong!

Jaypremium · 22 December 2021, 06:33 AM

40mm for the day date your wrist swallows the 36 also my fiance wears a 36 and shes 126 pounds :-/

36 is the way to go 40 looks ridiculous, IMO.

GoingPlaces · 22 December 2021, 06:45 AM

This is why I really don't understand why they don't introduce more dial options to the 40. That's a gorgeous dial and really belongs on a 40 also.

Completely disagree, I'd say it should be determined depending on wrist size.

Calatrava r · 22 December 2021, 07:11 AM

Buy the 36mm. To me it looks better on your wrist than the 40mm.

huncho · 22 December 2021, 07:20 AM

could go either way, 36 will look smaller here because it's sitting on your hand but once properly sized and moved up a bit it'll look better. depends on your preference

fskywalker · 22 December 2021, 08:40 AM

36 MM DD would be my choice

Agreed.

RolexRon456 · 22 December 2021, 10:59 AM

I have the 40 on a 16cm wrist and it fits well when sized. The 40 at msrp is a steal. You can sell it after 1 year for the same price or a small profit then buy the 36 if you want.

Dr.Brian · 22 December 2021, 11:15 AM

I’m a huge fan of the 36mm DD as well, perfect proportions.
The 40 is just not right, too big.
Not too big for my wrist, just too much.
YMMV.

Maiden · 22 December 2021, 11:45 AM

36 looks best on you. It looks like you can serve shrimp on that 40 on your wrist.

Another vote for the 36. Looks better on you. I generally don't like the "Upsized" versions though. Too much dial.

Jack T · 22 December 2021, 11:50 AM

Similar situation for me, went to my AD for something else, he pulled me aside and showed me this 36mm; on my wrist (7.25”) it looked fabbo, it’s plenty of watch.

NYG1121 · 22 December 2021, 11:51 AM

both are great. Depends on wrist size but importantly the look you are going for. Most people would be able to pull off the 40 no problem as it is not really a big watch. My issue with 36's recently has been the dials which do seem more geared toward women, particularly in rose gold which is why i got a DD40 in RG/chocolate roman dial

WiseRat · 22 December 2021, 11:52 AM

36mm all the way. The 40mm lugs are overhanging both sides of your wrist. This is a clear sign its too big.

Xichan · 22 December 2021, 01:23 PM

I have this exact 36mm. Do it; you won’t regret it. Dial is ridiculously captivating.

My wrist is a bit smaller than yours, but this watch gets more wrist time than any of my other DD’s, 40mm or 36mm. I’d wear it every day if I could, but sometimes the occasion calls for something less flashy or dressy.
