36mm DateJust

[scotchnbourbon]

Do you all think Rolex will ever discontinue the 36mm DateJust as a men's watch? Most men's Rolexes are 39mm+

..............am okay with the range 36mm-40mm tops.
But since the 36mm became the real classic size before the big round dial/bezel craze?

I feel good with my TT DJ 36mm, I don't think Rolex will discontinue that size, as it would be less to make and produce than the newer size. It's good that they can cater to the wanted size.
I would have both sizes but nothing larger that would deface the classic looks of the originals.

36mm is a classic, it will never panda to what's vogue. Your dad wore a 36, so trust in him.
Saying that, some watches do look better in different sizes. Feel does come into it too.
Then again a large but well proportioned watch can look good. Point in case would be the 43mm Sea-Dweller. It's big but ideally scaled up, everything is in proportion. Proportion to what, in proportion to the classic 36mm of course.
The older 5 digit sports models have the same proportions as the 36mm, but the 6 digits don't. That's until the new 43 SD came along.
Like a lot of watch lovers, I have nothing to prove and happily wear a 36mm.

I do not think so. But who knows. Maybe someday. The trend is changing very quickly.
I have a solution. We just need to buy more 36mm models.

36mm is a classic.

[Thuilln]

I certainly hope not!
But I'm fine, I've got mine already.

Actually, I see the opposite, I see a gradual trend towards more traditionally sized watches, at least that's what Basel has shown us the past few years. My 36mm collection makes me quite happy and is a great changeup to the Sub and Daytona. Subtlety never goes out of style.

And that said, you will never have to worry about a shortage of 36mm Rolex product; the second-hand and vintage market is flush with inventory of many of these timeless styles, especially the DJ.

It's a classic and the size is just right! Look at the bao Dai Rolex on HODINKEE it's got the 36mm case and what really makes the watch! This mine a 1960 date just original dial hands prob changed during the first service. One owner besides me it has the rare original door stop dial

I think 36mm Datejusts are way underrated.

I don't see them going anywhere any time soon.

No I don't. I think 36 mm is a classic size and it looks good on most wrists. Sure people are getting bigger, but I think eventually years from now the obesity epidemic may be reversed thus making 36 mm more popular? I know some people with small wrists still like 45 mm watches, but I hope they keep 36 mm for years to come because I do believe it is a classic size

I don't think the 36mm DJ will be discontinued. It's a classic size and watch which has been around for many decades.

I've got a YMII and various other larger diameter watches and I love my DJ 36mm which I am wearing today lol!

[august1410]

I have a small wrist and the 34mm looks just fine there. A 36mm would be perfect for my next one, but the trend toward huge watches kind of irks me. It's a watch, not a clock.

Some of the lesser brands, such as Invicta, have watches so large, they weigh a full pound!

I have a small wrist and prefer the 34 and 36mm watches. That leaves more vintage stuff for guys like me!

Looks great to me

[Dr.Smellody]

Nothing wrong with 36mm! Classic!

[Kobin]

God, I hope not. Don't like those 40, 42, 40something sizes.

[Hotrod297]

Never, they have too large of a market. Especially now women are getting into 36mm.

[henry333]

Classic..will be the last size standing

[amh]

Maybe Rolex doesn't consider it a "men's" watch? It's just the 36mm and happens to look great on ladies too

[Gerardus]

I always loved the classic 36mm size

Trends change...classics do not so much. IMHO, the 36mm will continue on.

LONG LIVE THE 36!!!!
I'd post a pic but I'm not wearing it today since I'm wearing my new Tudor Black Bay :)

Isn't the 36mm DJ still their best selling? Can't see why they would get rid of it...even if it was only top 5 of their sales.

36mm is the Standard where all else takes off to and from and back.
