Datejust 126233 olive for male ?

Are there any guys wearing DJ 36 olive with diamonds ? Would you consider wearing it ? There are also not so many pictures online…

You mean the two tone ? Hey if that’s what you’re into then go for it. It’s not a particularly feminine watch I’d say. Just buy what you like and enjoy.

Hi, I have the 36mm silver dial with 6 and 9 in diamond pave, its very nice, more interesting and less boring than the other ones. Totally reccomend the olive too.-

Men really do not wear 36mm. Sure a guy with a small wrist can get away with wearing a womans watch, but stay with mens sizes

the fact that you're even asking tells me you have some reservations.

personally i wouldn't wear that watch—for multiple reasons. but i also think people should wear whatever makes them happy regardless of what others think.

good luck.

Assuming for yourself? Don’t look around in the herd to see what’s appropriate, enjoy the watches you like! You’re spending the money and wearing it. 36mm is probably the best sized watch for most men.

Diamonds aren’t my thing, but so many “men’s” watches have diamonds on them. No one should care but you. Enjoy.

I recommend wearing whatever sings to you. If it's a DJ 36 with olive dial, then rock it proudly. I've always worn a 42mm Explorer II, then I recently picked up a 36mm Wimbledon dial Date Just and couldn't be happier with it. 36mm is a fantastic size for guys. It's the classic size for a reason.

Thank you all for answers. Yes, I think of buying it for me. Today I will go to AD and take a look on one domed bezel and oyster bracelet. I prefer jubilee and fluted but I will get some perspective. My wrist is 16.5 cm so size should be fit fine. Diamonds are something that I am not so sure of, but beutiful too :)

Well millions of men wear the 36mm DJ every day world wide,myself have 8 inch plus wrists and quite happy to wear some of my under 36mm watches as well as larger watches.I have not been stereo typed into thinking that watches like the 36mm DJ are women's watches.

Hell yeah, you should absolutely wear it if you love it. Nobody else has one? All the more reason!

Looking forward to pics when and if you pick it up.

36 certainly not a ladies watch, but that particular configuration I feel is geared towards a woman that wants a bigger size than 28 or 31.

Good choice on the 41, OP. Rose or yellow TT?

I think diamonds/baguettes hour markers dial looks very good for both men and women.

C’mon now, 36mm is not a woman’s sized watch. Athletic guy here, 7 inch wrist and I have and wear 36mm up to 41mm watches comfortably. 39mm is the sweet spot for me.

36mm can be the perfect sized dress watch in my opinion.

False. 36mm is the perfect size for a majority of men.

I don't wear any diamonds on the watch, but would if I got the green 5711 Patek. But that's not going to happen lol. With Rolex, I stick to 40mm and above.

Since that dial only comes in TT, I would call that watch unisex. If you are comfortable with that then by all means go for it because it's a beautiful combination.

I would wear this and diamonds on a dial are amazing, but I don’t feel insecure

The 36 DD/DJ are perfectly balanced for any wrist size imho

I sold my 36mm Day Date because I eventually realized 36mm is small IMO and I have a small wrist.
