Think its perfect my friend!

And its only going to become more and more average each day, IMHO. larger watches are in and here to stay. That is what I would consider a moderate sized watch!

However, I will say I think the DJII looks a little large on anyone. something about it just seems a bit stretched, and the bezel makes it seem big. DDII's for some reason dont seem as large looking to me, even tho they are.

+1..........good point

Bigger is better for me as far as watches go.. Part of the cache' of owning a Rolie for me is attracting attention.. Almost makes comfort take a back seat for me.. lol

It looks fine.

Yes really, sub and daytona do look smaller, 1 mm makes the difference

Love the following phrases;

Bigger the better,
'Rolie',
Attracting attention,

Certainly goes against the grain in terms of Rolex owners on this forum. Interesting...

That's a great example of how these close up shots make watches look dis - proportionally large when actually they are nothing of the sort.

I think it looks good on you. 5 years ago, I might have said "too large" but my own sensibilities have changed by +2-3mm compared to then.

Im sure other members "might" feel the same way as I do but are afraid to say anything due to possible ridicule? Hey Me? I just tell it like it is for me! hehe

floater156 · 9 May 2013, 01:41 PM

Based on your second round of pictures, I think it looks very modern and not too big at all. I also think a 36mm would look great on you as well. It's really up to you, what style do you prefer, classic or modern.

samsam · 9 May 2013, 02:04 PM

Looks great!

damo_t · 9 May 2013, 02:08 PM

The updated pics from distance puts it into better perspective. Looks awesome!

jrb715 · 9 May 2013, 04:01 PM

If wearing for dress, I do think it is a little large. It will call attention to itself: ok if you're ok with it. The 41 mm size has kept me from adding a djII. For me, my 36 mm works better.

ro1098s · 11 May 2013, 03:53 AM

Thanks again

ctomsee · 12 May 2013, 08:48 AM

OK, I admit I often have the lugs hanging over my wrist, but I think it looks great. Enjoy and wear it in good health!

ACURATL · 12 May 2013, 10:10 AM

is there any possible way a person can increase the size of their wrists through weight training etc?

bscepter · 12 May 2013, 10:14 AM

it's a bit big. i'd go 36mm.

Rags · 12 May 2013, 10:14 AM

Sorry but it looks slightly too large. But if you like it that's what counts.

100% Right on the mark !

Jack T · 12 May 2013, 12:59 PM

It looks like the DJII looked on my 7' wrist, which is why I am reconsidering. A dress watch, to me, should be a bit smaller, more elegant than a sports or dive watch. That said, it is an aboulutely beautiful timepiece, replicable in the classic DJ.

^^ This.....and, just my opinion, but regardless of the wrist it's being worn on, I just plain don't like the DJII's "inflated" appearance.

Royalex · 12 May 2013, 01:33 PM

I feel that there is not much different betweeen 40-41 mm

mmmk604 · 12 May 2013, 04:31 PM

Is it a keeper??

Magic-Matt · 12 May 2013, 10:15 PM

From what I can make out the height of the watch exceeds that of your wrist width, i.e. the lugs overhang your wrist edges. Therefore I personally think youd definitely be better off with a 36mm version.
