Lovely DJ everyone...…….to those who own the 41 in stainless or two tone, is it just me or do you think the band/bracelet will last longer sans stretch?

Yes sir! It's a 1601 from the 1970's. I really enjoy the gold hands as it pops a bit!

A newcomer to this world.... unboxing for the first time was pretty special.
DJ41 Everose. Spent a lot of time anguishing over jubilee vs oyster and fluted vs smooth. But very pleased with the result.

It’s a little tight as it stands, so awaiting a new link to come in from Rolex.

Hi, would like to ask for opinions from the member here. Is the DJ 41 smooth bezel too big for my wrist? Thanks before

Just fits. I’d say go for it. All pics that close make the watch seem bigger. You have long arms so you can pull it off. The DJ41 is actually 39.5mm. So it’s a perfect size for most.

Hard to tell from photos, but I might think it looks too big. What size wrist do you have, and how do you think it looks?

Did you also try on the 36mm?

I think it depends what you want. If you want it to be a sporty piece, it’s probably ok. If you prefer more classic, go for the 36mm.

Thank you but can you please elaborate how long arms make the watch looks smaller? Sorry

Yes, my father owns DJ 36 from the 80s I think and not sure if the case size/shape is the same.

Sporty is fine with me as long as its not too big for my wrist

The new 36mm and especially the last version are more substantial and much better built than the ones form the 80s.

The lugs seem to cover all your wrist and almost extend it? For me personally that would be too big but that’s my opinion, there are many people that wear their watches that way.

You're welcome.
If you think it's too big for your wrist, then try a 36mm.
I have (2) 36mm DJ's and they're very appealing as well as comfortable. I personally think (from the photo) a 36mm would suit you much better.

You're literally wearing that watch on your forearm, not your wrist.

It’s too big.

Just like many others here who post pics of their watches that are too big for their wrists.

Put on a 36mm and then you won’t need to ask the question, as you’ll know.

Thank you for the kind input. Does this means the sports model are too big for me as well? I have the ceramic daytona that fits my wrist and thinking of the explorer 1 as the alternative to the DJ41

Thank you for your kind input. What do you think of the explorer 1 for my wrist size? Does it wear similar to DJ41?

Thank you for your kind input. Do you think that its way too big or is it still within reasonable for my wrist?

Tried the BB36 before too. Does the 36mm fits my wrist better compare to DJ41?
