Not for me. Too small and I am not a diamond fan on watches at all. Especially for men. Too Las Vegas. But the bottom line is that if you like it get it, wear it and enjoy it.

I think you would look great with a Leopard !!

Z-Sub · 30 July 2009, 04:10 PM

I think it's fine to wear it.
My wife has the 31mm version of the exact same watch and it's great for her even though she also look great with my 40mm white Daytona as well.
36mm is unisex IMHO

kcmo · 30 July 2009, 12:34 AM

Go for it if you like it!

jdc · 30 July 2009, 07:14 AM

have confidence in yourself and not what others think and you will be comfortable wearing it

KKB · 30 July 2009, 12:53 AM

Yes, you should wear it, it's beautiful. I have a similar one but with the Jubilee bracelet and a white MOP dial. DJs are so comfortable. I hardly know I have it on compared to my GMT IIc.

all, I was considering purchasing an all SS watch and have came across a SS DJ with 18K white gold fluted bezel, with white MOP diamond dial. It is a 36mm casing and looks pretty nice. Although I was just curious if this is considered a ladies watch? Also is a 36mm casing too small for a guy? (although I'm a 6'1 155lb marathon runner so I don't usually wear huge watches, although I wear a 40mm Yacht now). Any opinions would be great!

Thanks!

36mm is definitely not too small for a man. Only exception would be if you have unusually large wrist size, and it does not sound like you do - right?

JJ Irani · 30 July 2009, 04:17 AM

While that watch is one attractive beauty, I'm not a big fan of diamonds for men.

Replace those baubles with WG Romans, boost up the same watch to 41 mm and you've got an out and out winner!!

Agree +1 Diamonds ruin a Rolex... Unless you are my wife that is.

Yume-sama · 30 July 2009, 04:19 AM

Hmm, yes you could. However, I don't like diamonds on a SS DJ.

Go with what you want, ultimately it doesn't really matter what we say!

zak98 · 30 July 2009, 04:35 AM

yep.

cyberone · 30 July 2009, 05:43 AM

hell yes you can wear it.

michael69 · 30 July 2009, 05:50 AM

Personally I don't like diamonds an a men's watch (and yes 36mm IS a men's watch size!!), but go for it!

Yes, if you like it go for it.
it is not too small, 36 is a mans watch even though women are wearing them.

The diamonds, as my buddy the AD says, it is only gaudy on someone else!

Cato · 30 July 2009, 06:17 AM

Absolutely! From your description you sound like you are slim; that would mean that 36mm would look fine. I think a 4mm difference from your YM wouldn't be a big difference. The diamonds as markers looks sharp too: very dressy, not effeminate.

boa2 · 30 July 2009, 06:57 AM

A friend of mine has that watch, and it looks great on him. So, that's a yes!

Aeternitas · 30 July 2009, 07:34 AM

Go for it. I think a diamond dial is no problem on a man's watch. And 36mm is, has been, and always will be, a mans size watch. It has stood the test of time, as people from MLK and Dwight Eisenhower to Brad Pitt and Daniel Craig have worn 36mm Rolex. And don't forget that Rolex's potential largest markets in Asia still seem to flock to 36mm DJs and DDs.

Rebel · 30 July 2009, 07:27 AM

Go for it!

mborkow · 30 July 2009, 07:29 AM

Here in San Francisco, it would be perfectly acceptable...

Finley · 30 July 2009, 07:33 AM

You can definitely wear it. But if you already have a Yachtmaster, why would you want to?

davidwatts · 30 July 2009, 07:36 AM

Absolutely - but only if the guy *wants* to wear this watch.

Perdu · 30 July 2009, 09:14 AM

Handsome and stylish watch for a guy.

DS/B MINI S · 30 July 2009, 09:18 AM

No, I don't know any MEN that would wear that watch

If you like the watch - Buy It
Life if Much Too Short to be worried about what other people think of YOUR watch

KJacques · 30 July 2009, 09:38 AM

Could a guy wear that watch? Absolutely. Anyone can where anything they want.

However, I think it is very feminine and would look more appropriate on a woman's wrist than mine.

kjb · 30 July 2009, 10:00 AM

If you love it you should buy it. Opinions from the board are great to hear but at the end of the day you have to look at it everyday. I wore a 36 mil datejust today and I must say it is the most comfortable watch I own. FYI My AD said we could see some 41 mil datejust in the early fall.

tszyu#1 · 30 July 2009, 11:01 AM

The 36mm men's/women's debate still goes...Granted, I see ALOT of HUGE!!!! I mean like oversized ridiculously HUGE watches, especially on the younger thug looking guys on the train. Forget Panerai, these look like 50mm and up, usually iced out with CZ's or some other fake 'diamonds'...I look at it like this...Tony Soprano wore the 36mm DD every episode except the pilot. Did it look small on him whatsoever?? HELL NO!! Obviously the show ran before the DD II came out, it looked perfect on him and he's a good 6'1, 240, 250 lbs??

sirjohnbrian · 30 July 2009, 11:49 AM

Nothing wrong with that watch for a man. I have a 36 mm ss DJ and I think it is perfectly proportioned for me. I am however 5'6". I have the larger DJ with diamonds for my formal watch.

Taffi Abernathy · 30 July 2009, 12:42 PM

It's not so much about the watch but your comfort level. When a person is comfortable with who they are, I believe they can carry off most anything. If you like the watch, and want to purchase it, that's precisely what you should do.
