Pics of classic Datejust on "normal" wrist?

Hi guys,

Im thinking about getting a classic Datejust sometime next year. Im going for the black faced stick dial and oysterband.

I currently have a SD (16600) and have tried on the DJ, it looked nice on my wrist, not as small as I expected compared to the SD.

Soooo, does any of you guys have a picture of the classic DJ on a "normal" (dont shoot me on this one - lets say approx. 7 inch in size) wrist? A bonus would be a comparative picture including the SD

Didn't take a pic of the DJ on my wrist, my GF is rather used to my watch interest, but I felt that taking such pics at the AD was to stretch it a bit....

Nice watches, what are the major changes between the latest DJ (36mm) and a 10 year old one?
