My Datejust Upgrade

I recently decided to upgrade from my all-steel 36mm Datejust to a new two-tone 41mm — one thing I didn’t want to change was the dial! I think the new watch is much more my style, let me know what you think!

Personally I think it’s too big for your wrist size. The 36mm DateJust to me, looks nicer on your wrist.

I can certainly see why you’d prefer the 36 on my wrist size; in all technicalities it is a more appropriate size proportionately. I just can’t help but love the “oversized” look I guess!

Personally, I think you can pull it off with the larger size. I think the watch looks stunning on your wrist, it's a thing of beauty and I hope you get many, many years of enjoyment from it. I love Rolex Datejust, it's such an Iconic timepiece, and when I have one on my wrist I can approach anything the world throws at me with confidence, you can wear a Rolex Datejust when you're getting married, or in the dock being tried for embezzlement, it's that versatile.

Appreciate all the kind words my friend. This message truly made me chuckle — cheers!

That’s a fantastic upgrade! The TT DJ41 has much more presence and visual intrigue, and I think a hint more masculinity. Big congrats!

I personally think the 41mm is too big for your wrist. 36mm would be better but 38mm would be perfect if Rolex made it.
