Have gone back and forth with this same topic. I have a DD OQ and it appears bigger than your traditional DD 36 due to the more square lugs. I love the traditional look but like the size of the 40.

For me I love the DD36. I am what I would say an average sized guy. 5'11 200lbs on a bad day. Will post a pic when I can.

Show me your DD36 and your size..

Beautiful bigrustypig! I have a small wrist but years of wearing in the range of 40mm have made my wrist preferring said size vs. the 36mm. But I have my eyes set on a 36mm YG Day Date in the future so I’ll update you. Good to hear from you! Here’s my contribution to the DD40. Initially, I didn’t like the abbreviated Roman indices on the DD but along the way these have grown on me and have made a less cluttered Dial with a 3D effect. Lovely!

I am 6”2 and 250 lbs. 7.25 in wrists. Love my 36 mm. I love the 40 as well but only on white metals. I find the the YG on the President bracelet gives the 36 all the presence it needs. YG on the 40 is just too much for me. There is a classic restrained elegance the 36 has that the 40 does not. Jack Forster writes a great article about the day date in hodinknee. I wish I knew how to post a link but google it, it’s a great read.
At the end of the day it’s personal, get what you love and enjoy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Think this might be the article you're referring to, contributed to my decision to go for the 36mm. https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/ro...0mm-comparison |

I am 1.80m and 85kgs. (5.9’’ and 187lbs).
The only DD I ever considered is 36mm. My wrist size is 7 inches, flat. Besides that it fits well my wrist it is, also, about the legacy of the model....classic 36mm.

I agree with this! Yellow gold has more presence and holds its own at the classic 36mm size whereas white gold is sportier and works better at 40 - a good reason to get both colors and both sizes! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
