I thought the 41mm DJ would be my preference and I have a ton of 42mm+ watches but when it comes to a Datejust, 41mm looks bulky and off balance.

So lots of us have said we like it on you - but only you should decide !

I understand 40-44 mm SPORTS/PROFESSIONAL watches but DJ and DD for me dress watch and it definitely need to be smaller and slimmer and my old DJ 41 , not sport and too big for dress.(sold it) .New DJ 36 feels More comfortable ,better feet’s under sleeves. But you every body help me for making decision . Thank you .

Your DJ36 look great by itself or when you're wearing it. Keep it forever!

Perfect looking watch on you. Go for the 36mm.

I sold my 41 and went for the 36. Best decision.

Since you gave a shot of the 41mm and the 36mm, my opinion is the 36 looks a lot better on you. i'm 5'11 with 7.5 inch wrists and wear a 36mm. I have bigger watches as well, but wear the 36 most of the time.

Looks fab, just right, the 36. (I'm 5 11 and also have 7 in wrist; my DJ36 is my favourite. There are a lot of us.) That 41 you also show is for starters too far up your wrist, and it looks suspiciously huge and ill-proportioned for you.

Love my 36mm DJ. Nice change from my Hulk and Blue Sub.

I like it. I might step up to one.

I think it’s much better value than the bigger Datejusts.

Here’s a 34mm Date on my wrist. A beloved 15038 with Rolex leather band and 18kt clasp. It has the older 3035 movement, 2 generations back, but reliable and accurate.

36 is the perfect size for a man's dress watch, for most wrists, in my opinion. It's the original, classic size. I tried on the 41 and it looked like I was wearing a hubcap on my wrist. My DJ36 I think fits just right, and it's very comfortable as I'm sure you know.

From your pictures, I think your DJ36 fits you just right.

Oh, and one salesman I talked to tried to shame me into getting the 41 instead of the 36 when I was looking to buy. His mistake was he showed me the DJ41 that he was wearing, and I had a hard time keeping from laughing. He had very skinny wrists, and it just looked ridiculous. Don't let the number get in the way of reality, if it looks too big but people tell you that you're "supposed" to wear that size, ignore them and go with your gut.
