36mm Day-date felt Small

[Gym5050]

Hey all,

After getting a lot of help from people on here (one who has been particularly insightful despite my indecision), I went ahead and tried on another DD 118238 after thinking that I was going to pull the trigger once I found one for a great price. After my jeweler let me try on a 18238 and a 118238, I didn’t think “wow!” I tried them on before, but this was the first time I was in a store that had multiple full body mirrors. After looking at myself and taking multiple pictures and videos (figuring if I’m about to drop 22k this thing better look great), I couldn’t help but feel that it looked small on me. I know my wrist is small, but I didn’t consider the size of my forearms and bis/tris which are pretty big. Overall, it just appears too small on me in comparison to a 41mm. I wasn’t too impressed. Do you guys agree? And if so, any other idea on what watch I should now look for? I’d obviously love a DD 40, but that’s way out of my budget now… I love the look of yellow gold, and it matches all my other Jewlery, but I’m at a cross roads..

I uploaded a pic with 41mm DJ for comparison and it seems that fit my overal body better…
