Any Day-Date II owners

If any Day-Date II owners have pictures of their watch on their wrists I'd sure appreciate if they'd post them. I'm trying to decide if the size is a plus or a minus. I am thinking about picking up a Day-Date but am afraid they are too small for my wrist. Thanks!

I just bought a DD II for my husband. I will try to get a wrist picture this weekend. He did not want the smaller size and really likes the feel of the DD II. It really is BIG and HEAVY!!! You will not regreat!

In the Bay Area, there are plenty of dealers around. I would definitely try on both. They are not the same watch by any stretch, and you'll know which you prefer.

Ok - Here is a wrist shot of my husband's DD II as promised. I was even brave enough to remove two links so it fits perfectly.

He really likes it!

I think Rolex made a good move in producing a 40mm Day Date II. At the same time, I would still consider buying the 36mm size for myself, although I would also want to try on the new larger size. Generally, even with sports watches, I normally don't buy more than 42mm tops. It fits me OK.

It is actually 41mm - but whose counting.

I finally tried one on at T, a Rose gold with Romans. Like said a million x before, the dial looks disproportionate (imo), the bezel doesn't look that huge in person, but it is nice. I still prefer my 36mm though.
