Boy sized Rolex DJ
Please share your views on boy-sized Date Just for ladies.
Is it still considered as the classic Rolex watches, like the Sub, DJ, etc? |

It works if you like it.
Also the 36mm isn't out of the question... http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=259302

Interesting thread.
I was at the Rolex AD over the weekend with my sister and she indicated her preference for the 36mm and not the traditional ladies sized DJ. |

Are you talking about the 26mm lady datejust? That would be considered the "traditional" size. Did she look at the 31mm?

Brenngun,
She compared the lady DJ against a bigger one - I think it is the 26mm vs 31mm She said she prefers the 31mm DJ and will buy that after doing some looking around. i am just curious whether 31mm commands the same resale as 26mm. Not that she is a flipper but I am just curious. |

In general none of the ladies say 26mm, 31mm or the boy sized 34mm will hold there price as well as say a 36mm DJ.Now there are the ladies Yachtmaster 29mm and a mid size 34mm which they class as 35mm.Now in the ladies size watches they seem to hold there price a little better.

In short, ladies sized watches resale are not as good as the men's but it is getting better... ok, i will tell my sister to go forth and just buy since there is not much difference unless she wants to wear a men sized watch which i know she has no intention of doing. She is a petite lady. |

Really in today's world, 34mm-40mm is what you can get away with as a guy. The large-watch faction is slowly being conquered thankfully. Until ultimate victory, stay within this range.

My wife wears a 31mm but I would not say she has a petite build. A 36mm DJ actually looks fabulous on her. The folks doing the "horsetrading" in watches are usually (but not always!!) men who are inclined to buy 36mm+ watches. 31mm and smaller tend to suffer in resale for lack of demand.
