DJ41 vs. DJ36. Not sure on best size.

I am looking for size opinions. I prefer the DJ41 dial. It looks less cramped to me. The 41 does not look too big to me in person but looking back a photos it looks bigger than I remember. I tried these size option at my local AD....

Both look good on you, but 36 looks perfect. I’d vote for the 36.

Go with 41 here. If you want 2nd watch, then get 36.

+1

Also, the dial on the 36 doesn't look cramped at all.

36 is the best sized Rolex for any wrist size. Its proportions are just right. Even though your wrist can pull off the bigger model, having comparison pics really highlights the 36’s beauty.

These pics are deceiving. When you just have a zoomed picture of the watch and a bit of the wrist showing all watches seem large.

If you take a picture at arms length more zoomed out the 41mm will suite you better.

41 looks great. 36 looks “Edith, where’s my AARP magazine??”

36. 41 looks "Johnny, in no way does my little problem detract from my awesome manliness."

Your wrist can pull off both sizes well. But the 36 shows more of the bracelet especially if you like a super jubilee.

DJ41 vs. DJ36. Not sure on best size.

You said you prefer the DJ41 dial. Although to me the 36 looks better on your wrist, you will soon regret buying it since you really wanted the 41.
