So here's to the 36 MM 118238!

But my Day Date II seems about perfect, too.

But the Day Date 40 looks very good, too!

Maybe Rolex should keep all three in production. I might need one of each!

And I'm still thinking I might "need" this one.

There is no cure for this Rolex obsession!

Here's my lineup many years ago with my Day Date. Today, I have a different white dial SS Daytona and a Polar Explorer... but that could change.

Your 36 is gorgeous! Whats the year and refer number? I am interested in one myself.

After seeing both in person, I think the 36mm has the better proportions that will likely never be unseated it seems.

awesome collection

I went through the 36 mm DD Vs. 40 mm DD question too. I figured out that the 36 mm gives me everything I need in a YG DD. If I had a larger wrist and I didn't have a DD I would go for a 40 mm. IMHO

:) I believe 36mm looks good on you

I've worn 40 mm for the past 5 years but the entire time always longed for something in 36 mm. Recently purchased a 36 mm date just and it feels so right. I don't think 40 mm is out of place but it just feels to me that 36 is of a more gentlemanly proportion
