Well question of taste I guess, I have a hard time going under 39mm but before most high end brands practically only made 34-36mm in men's watches, for me the best is 39-41mm, but must say that 26mm is small, but it depends on the wrist size also, got my wife a 34 or 36mm, don't really remember, anyways looks nice on pics so for me it's ok

Well, if I can choose, I would buy 31mm instead 26mm one for my wife. But she is happy with this small elegant DJ and the price was... unbelievable good.

What are you thinking about?

Sure you can as soon as will be better light... I will make few more photos.
Production year is 1997, bezel is custom with 36 diamonds and 4 saphires.
Dial has been changed in the past from T to super lumi one.

No, 26mm isn't too small for a female. The 26mm is smaller and more classic. The 31mm is a tad larger while still feminine (my wife has a pink one). 36mm and up on a female look more like a fashion accessory than elegant jewelry IMO.

Ann insisted on a 26mm. I was happy to oblige. She also preferred the Oyster bracelet.



Picture is bad due to snapping it while she had fallen asleep on the couch. She thinks posting wrist shots is weird.

Spot on. 26mm is perfect as an elegant evening piece, anything larger looks too 'showy' IMO. I think we've lost a bit of perspective with watches these days.
