this..... while i prefer the sizes of the 36mm models the dial options (especially the deconstructed Romans ) are preferable in the 40mm sizing. I was struck by how much smaller the DD felt in the larger sized compared to the DJ, which to me felt way too large |

Well, I was able to compare in person and found the 36 to be too small for me. Glad I checked them out in person.

I prefer the 36, I think the bezel is too wide on the 40mm and throws the whole look off, fit notwithstanding.

Agreed that this is a never ending debate. I bought a 36 new in 1981, still wear it and love it. At the time 36 was “The Rolex”. Mr. T was featured wearing a 36 - not a small guy. The driver was that it was fashionable at the time with all the Rolex attributes. 40 years later 40 seems to be the preferred size. Neither is right or wrong, just different choices. I’ve tried larger cases, but the weight/balance of a vintage 36 case/band feels right. The bands back then were hollow -far lighter on the wrist and all day comfort in any climate. The newer heavier styles get uncomfortable, for me, especially in summer heat. Wear what you want, ignore the noise and be grateful that you can afford to have the “problem” or which size is best.
