What do you think of this size for my wrist?

Visited my AD yesterday. I'm considering picking up a Datejust 41 two tone. I currently own a Datejust 2 which I may sell or perhaps keep both.

This was the only DJ41 jubilee they had in stock. NOTE I am NOT getting this particular watch. Looking at ordering a chocolate dial RG TT model. Tried this on just for size.

What do you think size-wise? It definitely wears smaller than my DJII but not as much smaller as I feared. Still on the fence but feel better about it after trying one out.

side note: this mother of pearl dial is really neat looking in person. not for me but if you are into the bling, this diamond dial TT really pops.

I don't think that could fit any better. I've seen the watch you're looking for - amazing look with the chocolate dial. Good luck.

Perfect fit on your wrist.

I love this TT YG DateJust with MOP and diamonds dial.

LOL you should have seen my wife's reaction when I sent her the picture from the AD.

I believe there was a barf emoji somewhere in her response

Looks perfect on your wrist. Remember the DJ41 is in reality 39.xx mm and to me is much better proportionately to the DJII.

It really is a beautiful dial in person, but the exact opposite of my personality.

It looks to me like it fits perfectly. The more important question is how comfortable does it feel on your wrist.

Appreciate the feedback guys. I have to say I was impressed overall with the DJ41 design. I've seen them before in the case but never tried one on.

I think what impressed me the most was the comfort of the watch, especially on the jubilee bracelet. Felt like the watch almost disappeared after I had in on for a few seconds.

I'm looking at dressing up my Datejust a tad and the new generation design to my eyes makes is a little more towards the dress side as compared to my DJII which is maybe more toward the sport side.

Both models are great. Love my DJII and would have a tough time parting with it. But I am really drawn to the jubilee bracelet both for comfort and dress reasons.

Really appreciate all the responses guys! I'm pretty sure I'm going to go ahead and order one. More of a 'when" than an 'if' at this point...

I think size wise it looks great Mike.

The jubilee will make it wear smaller than the oyster, but I get why you want to go that route... the comfort is amazing and I know you’ll like it
