36mm looks fine in my opinion. I prefer 40mm to 42mm in full disclosure but I think the 36 is great on you.

Out of curiosity, do have the thin clasp or heavy clasp?

Heavy…new milled clasp

Thanks guys…I am really torn. The watch in question is naked and needs polishing…for a more minty example I would need to kick in significantly more cash.

Daytonaman799 · 7 July 2023, 10:53 AM

Do I do this trade and keep a 36 and a 40?

DLRIDES · 7 July 2023, 11:47 AM

40 !

Kenny G · 7 July 2023, 12:12 PM

You could probably do the 40mm but the 36mm is definitely your size. It look great!

Now you're talking. I put on my 36mm because of you tonight. It's perfect. Maybe get a new dial if you want something fresh

I think the long term answer is to have both.

My wrist is 7" and my YG DD36 fits great. I also have a WG DJ36 with a leather strap and both watches look like I am wearing them.

That being said, I do expect to get a platinum DD and plan on it being a 40 just to have both. That being said, it is a bigger watch and seems like it is wearing me, if that makes any sense.

I think YG wears bigger, so getting a YG 40 may be overwhelming compared to a 36.

I also have a 42 Moonwatch and a 44 Panerai and honestly these things look like I am wearing a dinner plate on my wrist.

get the dd40. the deconstructed romans are fun to look at as it "plays with the light..." as they say these days. ;)

keep the 36 and ADD the 40

Daytonaman799 · 7 July 2023, 05:23 PM

I have to decide by sometime today. The options are as follows:

1) Trade my 6240 & 16600 plus 3k for a naked 228206 index motif dial
2)same trade as above plus 16k for new complete 228206
3) Trade my 6240 and my 118206 for a new unworn 228206 complete…no cash
4) just stay as I am

I like the 40 better. To be honest, though, the 36 doesn't look too small on your wrist. You could do a 40 and it wouldn't look too big either.

Rushne · 7 July 2023, 06:11 PM

Size wise... absolutely perfect at 36.

I would opt for a fluted bezel but that is me.

At some stage I will add a DD and even though I can pull off a 40, I think the DD just HAS to be 36.
