The New OP Implications for Datejust

[tomchicago]

So is a 39mm Datejust a lock then for next year? That would be awesome imo.

Perhaps they'll keep the 36mm and reduce the size of the DDII?

[tomchicago]

the DJII sort of followed the DDII so it makes sense. personally i'd love to see the 39mm DJ.

Me too. And I bet a lot of people would love as well. The 36mm is small I guess. I like that size on many of my vintage watches but somehow I'm not comfortable spending the asked price on a modern 36mm watch. I see the DJ as a dress watch no matter how it was built, and dress watches need to be elegant and well proportioned, and I'm sorry but I don't see the DJII that way.

I like my DJ2's size and I am not a big watch guy. Do you think Rolex keeps 41, adds 39 and drops 36?

I am not a guy who likes big watches. I am a big watch enthusiast.

I'll be amazed if they drop 36.

I'd be floored if they did.

These new size releases have thrown me for a loop. I'm uncertain of what's in store for sure. 41mm? 36mm? 31mm? 26mm? What's the future of these sizes I wonder. Maybe we'll find out at the next Basel.

Would love to see the DJ at 39mm!

34 mm (Air King)

Djii 40mm men's. DJ 36mm; perfect woman size. All my lady friends are buying 36mm DJ with jubilee these days.

36mm DJ is the Datejust, so I would also be surprised if Rolex discontinued it. To me it wears beautifully for the type of watch it is, and is a perfect classic men's size. 39mm would be a nice option though, and I can see that as a real possibility.

What would be really interesting is if Rolex brought the TOG back in a 39mm case, and made the size exclusive to the model as a niche product...

IMHO, the 36 is the perfect size for a DD or DJ. I hope they don't drop it.

No. I'd say the odds are better the DJ follows the DD40 and goes down to 40mm than 39. Just my opinion, however. It's all speculation until next Basel though.
