NEW 36mm and 41mm pics on me. Help with sizing...
Ok, just visisted local AD again... Tried on the DJ with Jub band and fluted bezel, left band looser so it didnt look as "snug" as other pics.
And then again, a couple DJ2 pics. Again, my decision is trade/sell my DSSD for a WG DD 118239 with fact dia dial... OR, keep my DSSD and just buy the DJ2 with dia dial. Also tossed in a pic of the DSSD on me... kinda getting bored/sick of the size. Could also be that I just want a DD, who knows... Thanks for help! |

IMO - the DSSD suits you the best.

The 36 is too small. No question.

Side point - whatever you wear, no one is gonna say you are wearing a ladies watch! :)
Your arm looks like it's gonna eat those watches alive!! Back on point - I think pick the one you are most comfortable with :) |

1. You need to start working out, you are obviously getting a little soft.
2. If you want the dj as a dress watch and intend to wear with long sleeves then I would go for the dj1. If you intend to wear it casual and with short sleeves I would lean toward the dj2. 3. I would not dump the dssd to get a dd unless it was a dd2.

Keep the DSSD and purchase the DJ2. By far it looks the best on you

I still vote for the 36mm but just my opinion.
Judging by your arm you could wear a 31mm and I doubt anyone will make fun of you, at least to your face. |

I think the 36 MM DJ looks better on you.

I think the 36mm looks fine on you. I find the DSSD to be too bulky looking.

I don't like the proportions of the DJ2, or the DD2. You, and I, could wear either 36 or 41, but the 36 looks better to my eye. On anyone's wrist.
The real question is, if you sell the DSSD, will you be comfortable wearing the gold DD everywhere you used to wear the DSSD? Or maybe you have a Panerai or something else for casual wear?

What are you more comfortable with?
I realy kind of wanted to go with the DJ, but at 6' 3" I was more comfortable with the DJII.

Keep the DS and get a DJ2. You might regret getting rid of your DS if you go that route. 36 mm looks very small in your wrist.
Best,

IMO, a man with your build (similar to mine) should go with the 41mm. 36 is too small. Good luck and congrats in advance!

Normally I would have said 36mm but looking at your pics I have to go with the 41mm. Myself I prefer nothing bigger than 40mm although I have a Seiko diver that is 42mm & I do think it is just a bit too big for my 7 1/4 wrist.

For your wrist I would go 41mm. Keep the DSSD. They are two complete style watches and would be good to build a collection around.

By the look of your forearm, you look like a hulk.. The dssd looks best on you! The 36mm looks too feminine. Btw.. SEXYNICEMACHO~ wrist.. I like! .. Jennifer

I think part of my prob with my DSSD is that im dieted down for competitions right now. Usually about 35lbs heavier, and im thinking the way it fits NOW as opposed to my normal size.
Below is a pic from my last comp 2 weeks ago... I have 1 more in 2 weeks then my weight will go back up and I think the 36mm will def look too small then. Also, here is a current and before dieting DSSD wrist shot... so, as you can see, i think in a cpl months the 36mm is gonna look like a girls watch on me! |
