My advice is keep with 31mm, it fits you very well. As said earlier larger is sportier, dress watches are generally smaller. I think your skin tone would work with YG, RG too. I'm not a TT fan for myself but do think certain models look better than others in it, smaller DJ's are one.

That said get the size you want. A 36, even 39, will only look large and sportier next to your OP. You aren't going to wear them at the same time (right?). So who cares. There are many interesting/fun/ dressy dial options for the DJ but they can increase price pretty quickly. If you're set on one of these two I'd suggest TT as it would add the most variety to your watch choices. The good news is there's no wrong choice.

Your original watch is similar to my wife's first watch, but her's is a 31mm DJ with white MOP dial and a diamond bezel...

She wanted her second Rolex to be totally different. So she went with the EverRose TT, 36mm, with a Black mother of pearl(MOP) dial, and diamond numbers...

Two great choices and it is nice for her to go back and forth between the two very different looking DJ watches...

Both are stunning to look at...

Hope this helps... Good Luck!

I like the Two Tone Everose DJ, either 31mm or 36mm.
Pink dial will be my first choice, silver, and then white. I don't think black dial goes well with Everose.
If you want dressier watch, I would also go with diamond markers.

DJ41 may be a bit too big, but if you are ok with it, I would suggest Two Tone Everose with Chocolate dial with Diamond markers. Fluted bezel. That's my favorite Datejust combination.

I think the 31 is dressier than a 36 for a woman. Stepping up to a 36 makes it more casual and sportier.

thank you for all the great feedback and insight. I was pleasantly surprised to hear the compliments on my current watch, which I find is a bit too plain.

Do you think a 36 even with the fluted bezel and diamond dial would look more sporty than dressy?

I love 31 but I have that size already, so looking for something slightly different. Not a fan of the oyster bracelet, so would definitely be jubilee. My wrist is 6" (Cartier love size 17). I think a 28 might be a bit small.

I tried them on a while ago, will try to dig up pictures and post. Thanks again!

My wife does not. She went from 31 to 36 and has not regretted it. Also jubilee, she looked at both and it was classier.

Both great, but I kind of like the TT just a tad more. The black if you're wanting dressier, and the TT if you're looking for more of an all rounder.

Either way, I wouldn't get rid of the watch you're wearing now, though. It looks great.

My wife went through the same sort of dilemma, she ended up with a 36mm and loves it, I think it looks amazing on her too.

Rolex is a “different” watch...... in a good way
Step outside the box and get the two tone.... I’m sure it’ll get you hooked on yellow!
Also sounds like that’s the one that speaks to you more! Go for it

Best of luck!!

I love the 31mm on you, your current watch is certainly not boring - I'd call it a timeless classic! I'd stick with 31mm and TT Rose Gold.

And here are a few examples, you said you were not going to get TT _and_ diamonds:





This one in particular is awesome
, purple with diamonds only at the bottom:

Yup. That was what my wife got. She actually hated it on the site (but when she saw in person...that was it). On my sister-in-law, it looked like she raided mommy’s closet (she is 5’1 and my wife is almost 5’7”)...but on my wife it just looks right.

Wedding band and engagement ring are similar to OP (platinum and diamond)

You can bring a horse to water...

I'm in the same boat with my wife (She's actually far more rational than me)

If I were advising my wife, I’d tell her go with the black dial with diamonds.

The 31mm looks great on your wrist. I would suggest the TT 31mm Rose Gold white MOP dial with diamonds.

I personally am not in love with the black dial with diamonds. I think a lighter dial, with diamonds, or perhaps TT YG with roman numerals really eye catching.
However, it must sing to you, and with more women wearing white gold or platinum rings, maybe I'm wrong.

Your current watch looks great!!!
I think black with diamonds/ fluted bezel is classy.
I think you absolutely could do yellow two tone and adds variety. Get what appeals to you most though or it will end up in a drawer.
