36 is a classic size. But buy what you like on your wrist.

36! The classic size with best proportions and - lucky you - it also fits your wrist better :(

36 seems better, unless you absolutely want the slate dial, which is gorgeous!

36 looks good on you. It’s also the better watch, much better proportions

36. It will also be much more comfortable to wear. Interestingly, the dials are only 2 mm difference in diameter, so not all that different!

Both sizes are fine on your wrist.
Wear whichever one you like most.

FYI: Be sure to take a look in the mirror so you don't get distortions from your close up, macro wrist-shots.

Both look good to me, but for some reason the 36 looks a hair better to my eye

No wrong answer. Whichever you feel better with. Every watch shown here is a clear winner!

TBH taking pictures on the wrist close up doesn't give you the right feel of size. I have a 6.5" ish wrist and find 36mm way too small. But when I take pictures of 36mm watches on my wrist they somehow look great and 41mm look huge.

Best way I found is to stand next to the mirror and look at your wrist from a side.

For your wrist I think you should go with 41 as it seems that you are also around 6.5" in your wrist dimensions.

39mm is the perfect size for that wrist size tho. Daytona fits me just better than any other watch I tried and it is actually 38.5mm (not sure why Rolex says 40).

36mm looks better on you and looks more refined
You could wear the 41mm as well

I have a 6.75 inch wrist and the DJ 36 looks so much more refined on my wrist then the DJ 41.

Subjective, of course.

36 for me if you like it classy. I prefer watching a person wearing a watch and not the opposite (in case of a large watch).

100% agree with all the above.
