went with 36

Nikrnic · 8 November 2019, 04:03 PM

DJ41 is perfect on me, it's really 40mm so I'm sure that would work so DD40 for me. I asked my AD to let me know if and when he gets one in so I can try it on just for size and feel.

36mm is my favourite and fits my 6 ¾ inch wrist perfectly.

Lemieux66 · 8 November 2019, 10:00 PM

The latest 128238 36mm model incorporates all of the upgrades initiated with the DD40, but still in the classic size. Current 36mm model in YG would be my choice. The 40 just seems too in yer face for me, although the RG versions do look amazing.

A picture of my DD II's.

ROlesorusLEX · 8 November 2019, 10:10 PM

Whatever the opinion on size, a 18238 is the best vintage deal on the market. My wife loves hers and I also wear it occasionally, just with more links in

I agree with this!

Big fan of my 36mm 118238

Voted 36mm because I prefer the 118238, but I could/would easily wear a DD40 or DDII.

MisterG12 · 10 November 2019, 03:41 AM

36 on my 7” wrist. Perfect in my opinion.

Are you certain of this?

Do the President bracelets incorporate ceramic inserts?

nnigel46 · 10 November 2019, 04:08 AM

my wrist is a 7'' and 40 just fits perfect

40mm the perfect size and proportions.

Krash · 10 November 2019, 04:43 AM

I feel fortunate. I got 7.25” wrists. 36 and 40 both look great on me.

I love my YG DDII in 41mm. I'm looking for a Platinum DDII to add to my collection.

Roger_2018 · 10 November 2019, 01:15 PM

36mm is the legend
Here’s mine ;

That's a classic. Love the white dial with gold numerals.

Has any member yet purchased model number 128238 from this years new releases with the Champagne dial and stick batons?
If so I would love to see some photos and any thoughts regarding it.

dmitrii_ · 10 November 2019, 02:32 PM

Have 2 dd40s. Love the 36mm, wouldn't wear one. Not right now.

nocaps · 10 November 2019, 03:15 PM

36mm. especially the 5 digit 18xxx because the size is right and it has the most bang for your buck. use the money you saved and buy a stainless sub or gmt.

ionenergy · 11 November 2019, 02:30 AM

I think 40mm is the best size as it has more of a modern look. The 36mm just looks very retro. 41mm too big in my opinion

GSBC · 11 November 2019, 02:40 AM

The poll result says it all. Personally, I like 36, but love the 40mm. The 41 looks cartoonish to me, with lugs just out of proportion.
The movement inside the 40 is leagues better as well.

I was at the AD trying on a DD, he mentioned the ceramic insert to prevent sagging. Does anyone have the time reference since when this became the standard?
