Every time you post a picture of that watch, I think such a nice looking watch!

In the words of the great Jim Ignatowski, "I don't know what's right, and I don't know what's wrong, all I know is the 36mm DJ on a jubilee is the most comfortable watch I've ever worn (and I've worn a lot of them)."
Ok, so I embellished the last part. But the jist is the same.

Given that they are very likely to own it as early as possible, I'd suggest 36mm

100% this I read the previous posts suggesting 36 in disbelief. You have to know your demographic. These are his grandkids. And lol at people saying 36 will always be the standard. It’s not the standard now. I have nothing against 36, but let’s look at the big picture here. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Datejust 36mm or 41mm?

How about what just actually looks better on your wrist? Or is that just too stupid an idea? |

Certainly for some people, in 2021, a DJ36 may look and wear better. But if trying to guess what might be more fashionable in 2035, go with the more contemporary look and size. After all men’s watches were once fairly common in a size 31mm, then a size 34mm, then a size 36mm… they haven’t really gone backwards in size over the years. |

But what a great sentiment here, regardless of size. I'm a bigger guy, so a 36 just looks off. The 41 is my sweet spot, with my other stuff I have that's 43. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk |

Datejust 36mm or 41mm?
Quote:
Yes I understand the point you make in regards to guessing what size wrists the watch will be for and that’s a fair point. My post however was referring to his generic comment about the ‘standard’ size etc. It’s a bit of a non-story to me. You wear what looks and feels best. I wear 32” wait trousers as they fit. Not 34” because I think most men wear bigger trousers and it wouldn’t be manly. |

I wear 32” pants as well. 34” pants — and definitely 41” pants — will fall off my waist. I’ve owned a DJ36, and I own a Sub41 — and many sizes in between. Neither would fall off my wrist. Pants and watches aren’t the same. A lot of watch size and fit is more subjective than other clothing items (pants, shoes, etc). |

Ok. It’s a topic we could go round and round on. Some people like 36mm, others not. I just think some of the arguments put forwards are shite. Thanks |

Now wearing a 41 OP, although they measured it on youtube and said it is only 39.5. For the last 20 years wore a 36 DJ and still love it. But with aging eyes can't even imagine buying a new 36.

I last posted on August 22nd about my decision to proceed with the 41mm instead of the 36mm.
Here is the update: I visited 3 AD's and put my name on their lists for a 41mm Datejust, Oyster bracelet, smooth bezel, stick markers with either a blue or black face. All three AD's said the blue face was harder to get and might take as long as 12-24 months, but the black face should be available sooner. Much to my pleasant surprise, on September 18th I got a call from one of the AD's telling me the exact watch I wanted with a blue face arrived and I could purchase it if I still wanted it. Needless to say, without hesitation, my wife and I jumped into our car and drove directly to the AD and purchased the watch. What a wonderful experience at this AD. Everyone in the store, from my salesman to the other salespeople to the security guards were smiling, courteous and pleasant to talk to. I asked my salesman if I could order the same watch with a black face for my other grandson and he said yes and put my name on the list again. Then on October 6th that same salesman called me and said that he had just received a 41MM Datejust that I might be interested in - a 41mm Datejust, Oyster bracelet, fluted bezel and a white face. He sent me a photo of the watch. It was not exactly what we were waiting for, but considering how long it might take to get the watch with the smooth bezel and a black face, we decide to purchase the watch. I still have my name on lists at the other two AD's for the watch with the black face. If one becomes available within the next year, I will probably buy it and consider selling the one with the white face. If not, the older of the two grandsons will have the first choice as to which one he prefers. Thanks againg to all who responded to my original post.

34 mm used to be the average size for a mans watch fifty years ago.
Times change and people do get bigger.A Rolex can last for ever if it is looked after.I would go for a 41mm without a doubt. |
