I've never accepted the 41 datejust, and always thought of the 36 as the real deal.

Even in discussions, they used to roast the 41.

Nowadays I feel the love for the 41 is growing in discussions, and I'm starting to like it too!

What are your thoughts?

Dj 36 please age less !

Some folks like the bigger piece, especially on-line. To each her own. I prefer the 36.

I have owned both but I currently own a 41. It’s funny because the 36 looks better on me in pictures but I feel the 41 looks better on me when I look at it. So there you go. It’s a matter of personal taste. Get what you like. They are both Rolex and they are both stunning.

I tried both and feel 41 fits my 7” wrist.

Freshtothetoes · 17 January 2020, 09:20 PM

Only ones liking the 36 is the ones who have won it. 40 mm is good size

Omegamma · 17 January 2020, 09:50 PM

The DJ36 is the real DJ in my eyes. It has the perfect proportions: 12mm thickness with the 36mm diameter.

Onikage · 17 January 2020, 09:54 PM

I'm going with 36. It spent most of its life in that size. 40mm + sized DJ is a new idea.

1William · 17 January 2020, 10:01 PM

I prefer the DJ II. I have a larger wrist and it looks better to me.

Rori · 17 January 2020, 10:26 PM

In pictures and on paper the DJ41 appeared to me as substantial as a watch can be but when I tried it on I was shocked by its proportions to the point I had to ask the sales person if she was sure the watch on my wrist was the 41 not the 36.
Don’t know how Rolex managed to make it look that small. I personally don’t only see it for men but also it looks stunning on girls wrists. The new DJ41 is a one size fits all Watch.

Wingslogo · 17 January 2020, 10:43 PM

Pictures are deceiving. The 36mm looks perfect on everyone and it photographs larger- in person MOST people lean towards 41.

I think 36mm is ageless but for now 41 is probably the correct answer

36 DJ is the classic size. Can't go wrong.

Amex4711 · 17 January 2020, 10:51 PM

I‘m going with 36

Likestheshiny · 17 January 2020, 11:00 PM

36 feels too small for me. It doesn't look bad, but it's a much more "vintage" style. The DJ41, which is actually 39-point-something mm, feels much more contemporary to me without actually being large.

Rolexavidfan · 17 January 2020, 11:27 PM

I tried on both and felt that 36 is better suited for my wrist.

Eagles4133 · 17 January 2020, 11:45 PM

Can't go wrong with either, it really depends on personal preference. DJ41 is a great size, not too large, I think the L2L is only 46 or 47. Also, the cyclops on the 41 is a little better proportioned and doesn't eat up the whole dial.

Pantheon · 17 January 2020, 11:45 PM

There is no right or wrong, better or worse. Just get the one you like and don't worry about the opinion of others. At the end of the day it is your money and buy what makes you feel good not what makes others feel good.

I prefer a relative large watch, not giant, 41 is my choice.

I do too.

im more of the 41mm

cerendigit · 18 January 2020, 01:02 AM

41, not even close. (unless you have a 5" wrist).

Hollie_Rollie · 18 January 2020, 01:33 AM

Love the 36mm DJ. Timeless design

danyvw · 18 January 2020, 01:36 AM

41 for me. 7" wrist.

With an 8" wrist the DJ36 or DD36 are not for me. Even the DJ41 when I first tried it on felt too small, but I still ended up with one and got used to the size. The DJII I had is definitely my favorite size.

I second this. I tried on a DJ36, DJ41, then a DJII at a gray dealer.

DJII looked the best imo. I don't have a large wrist (6.5). The fluted bezel seemed more pronounce and the watch just has more presence. Plus, the DJII was cheaper by about $3k or so i believe.

Check out the DJII in person if you can.

Nautique06 · 18 January 2020, 02:40 AM

I have the DJ41 and for my 7+ wrist I like how it looks and feels. Even on my wife's smaller wrist it looks good. But for her I must say the DJ36 fits her perfect.

Not a fan.

I had the Milgauss GV at 40mm. Loved the look / heft...but that case felt out of proportion > 36mm.

Forty one would feel even bigger.

jed11 · 18 January 2020, 02:43 AM

36 for me....the DJ41 is a huge improvement over the prior but to me the proportions are still bloated a bit.

AlexFrank · 18 January 2020, 04:23 AM

Im for the 41 because its a little bigger

JoseR · 18 January 2020, 04:46 AM

I'm bias to the 41 because I just got one. Both are great watches but I picked the 41 Blue for its size, dial color and new movement.
