A beautiful watch and band.

Keep it.

DWdrummer · 4 September 2009, 09:45 PM

That is a beautiful watch. I dont think it look too small.

I used to own a Paneari and it was 44mm and of course LOOKED bigger than anything else I owned at the time, cause it WAS. BUT I grew tired of it and sold it off. It didnt "fit" me, though it was a beautiful watch none the less.

I dont find 36-40mm watches too small. Im not a small guy myself and I think they look fine.

Even if you dont wear that watch very much, it is a piece of Rolex history and as such, should be cherished. If you decide you do not want it, Im sure it would sell very fast on here or anywhere else you care to list it.

The larger similar dial I know is the DJII, like the one in pic, available also in black.

Pic credit goes to jets.

Agree with the others thats a nice looking Oyster with an uncommon dial.....that'd grow on me.....

Psilonaught · 5 September 2009, 04:38 PM

I've found it's newer, bigger brother, this is it. Now i need to find one here in the UK

Rolex Oyster 116200-BKRO

Size wise I think it looks perfect. Now if don't like the face that's a totally different story... but the size for your wrist is perfect.

Perdu · 4 September 2009, 07:42 AM

That looks the right size on your wrist.

I'm not sure I can live with it and may have to sell it after only one day - I think the main problem is that it's on a leather strap, I'm wondering if the oyster bracelet would balance it up a bit and make it look less like a children's watch?

If YOU dont like it or think its small SELL it and get what you like.It looks good but its your watch so you make the call.

dweller · 4 September 2009, 10:14 AM

I agree with everyone else, looks great on your wrist, but if you cant overcome the size shock sell it. Personally I would give it a few days of wear though...

JediRolex · 4 September 2009, 12:09 PM

I had the same hang up. My first rolex (2 years ago) was a 34mm oyster perpetual all stainless. I was excited to finally get a rolex, but I could never get past the small size.

nektar · 4 September 2009, 02:10 PM

it is very nice!!!!!!!!!

cody p · 4 September 2009, 03:50 PM

where's rolexgiants when you need him? seriously, if you think it's too small, dice it!

jas55 · 4 September 2009, 03:53 PM

There's some great models, but I think they look a little small too.

Flaxmoore · 4 September 2009, 04:03 PM

I find size trends in watches interesting.

During World War Two, 30mm was a big watch, a man's size. The Elgin A-11, the commonest US military issue watch, was 32mm. That would be nearly toylike today- my Citizen BSA watch is 32mm, and it looks tiny on my wrist.

The Benrus GGW113 issue watch from Vietnam was 35mm. The current issue Marathon is 34mm.

Once, a Submariner at 40mm was huge. Now, it's considered by some to be a floor for size. Very odd. What's next, the Zlatoust Russian Diver as an everyday watch?

You're right - the way things are going with the popularity of big watch makers like Panerai, U-Boat, AP and Hublot, today's "normal'' might be tomorrow's "small''. But makers are probably only responding to what the market wants, so it's simply a function of changing tastes I guess.

stanislav · 4 September 2009, 05:35 PM

Size is OK. Don't like it - send it over here. Price you paid looks ok too.

Davidco · 4 September 2009, 05:46 PM

I really like the watch you have there. I find myself contstantly paging back to look at the picture of it. And quite honestly, that might be my next watch purchase.

chiscoe · 4 September 2009, 09:37 PM

That watch looks awesome!

SDDS · 4 September 2009, 09:40 PM

very nice congratulations wear it in good health

Psilonaught · 14 October 2009, 09:48 AM

guys I see this forum is back up and running. I am looking for interest as I haven't warn it since posting this, so if anyone if interesting in purchasing please PM me

thanks

HappyAngel · 14 October 2009, 09:52 AM

I think it looks awesome on your wrist. It doesn't look small at all.......it looks just right!!! :)

tkc324 · 14 October 2009, 10:39 AM

I think it looks great!
I think you should wear it for a while... maybe it will grow on u.
40mm is perfect... anything bigger just seem gawdy on me...

ingoodtime · 14 October 2009, 10:59 AM

I am growing tired of the large, larger, largest trend. I mean, my heaviest watch is almost 10 ounces and I know there are full pounders on the market. To mush for me. Give me a nice 40- 44 MM and I'm all good.

rockyn · 14 October 2009, 11:12 AM

that watchis a true classic keep it and you will get used to it.

deserted · 14 October 2009, 11:19 AM

True the bigger the better , 40mm watches just sit well on my wrist, my dad has a 116200 DJ and that's tiny but yet classic......

Tony G · 6 July 2011, 05:33 PM

You think a DJ is tiny ? Huh

BeekerMuppet · 6 July 2011, 05:47 PM

If you don't like it 100%, sell it here on TRF and buy one you 100% like. No big deal.

dannyt · 6 July 2011, 11:37 PM

If he didn't like it I think he would've sold it 2 years ago
