Ok, just visisted local AD again... Tried on the DJ with Jub band and fluted bezel, left band looser so it didnt look as "snug" as other pics.
And then again, a couple DJ2 pics.
Again, my decision is trade/sell my DSSD for a WG DD 118239 with fact dia dial... OR, keep my DSSD and just buy the DJ2 with dia dial.
Also tossed in a pic of the DSSD on me... kinda getting bored/sick of the size. Could also be that I just want a DD, who knows...
Thanks for help!

36 mm all the way, the classy choice no doubt

esm · 21 August 2011, 08:47 AM

IMO - the DSSD suits you the best.

SUBversive · 21 August 2011, 08:48 AM

The 36 is too small. No question.

zak98 · 21 August 2011, 08:52 AM

36 looks really good actually...

Manofsteelpt · 21 August 2011, 09:08 AM

I def like the way you can see part of the bracelet as opposed to just the vase of the watch... Decisions decision...

RolexWatcher · 21 August 2011, 09:09 AM

Side point - whatever you wear, no one is gonna say you are wearing a ladies watch! :)

Your arm looks like it's gonna eat those watches alive!!

Back on point - I think pick the one you are most comfortable with :)

1. You need to start working out, you are obviously getting a little soft.

2. If you want the dj as a dress watch and intend to wear with long sleeves then I would go for the dj1. If you intend to wear it casual and with short sleeves I would lean toward the dj2.

3. I would not dump the dssd to get a dd unless it was a dd2.

koc · 21 August 2011, 10:15 AM

for sure 41mm looks better on your arm

Rollie2011 · 21 August 2011, 10:15 AM

Keep the DSSD and purchase the DJ2. By far it looks the best on you

kcmo · 21 August 2011, 10:16 AM

I think the 36mm looks fine on you. I find the DSSD to be too bulky looking.

Mr. K · 21 August 2011, 10:21 AM

I still vote for the 36mm but just my opinion.

Judging by your arm you could wear a 31mm and I doubt anyone will make fun of you, at least to your face.

rtuy1 · 21 August 2011, 10:23 AM

41mm gets my vote

STEELINOX · 21 August 2011, 10:40 AM

DSSD !

Dr.Brian · 21 August 2011, 10:42 AM

I don't like the proportions of the DJ2, or the DD2. You, and I, could wear either 36 or 41, but the 36 looks better to my eye. On anyone's wrist.
The real question is, if you sell the DSSD, will you be comfortable wearing the gold DD everywhere you used to wear the DSSD? Or maybe you have a Panerai or something else for casual wear?

dddrees · 21 August 2011, 10:45 AM

What are you more comfortable with?

I realy kind of wanted to go with the DJ, but at 6' 3" I was more comfortable with the DJII.

docmarioce · 21 August 2011, 10:49 AM

Keep the DS and get a DJ2. You might regret getting rid of your DS if you go that route. 36 mm looks very small in your wrist.

Best,

CharlieSF · 21 August 2011, 10:52 AM

IMO, a man with your build (similar to mine) should go with the 41mm. 36 is too small. Good luck and congrats in advance!

Gharddog03 · 21 August 2011, 10:55 AM

I would keep the DSSD and go for the 41mm.

Flat4Boxer · 21 August 2011, 10:57 AM

Keep the DSSD and buy the DJ2.

MaxCargo · 21 August 2011, 10:59 AM

DJ II or maybe GMT TT ? and keep the DSSD.

Rags · 21 August 2011, 11:07 AM

Normally I would have said 36mm but looking at your pics I have to go with the 41mm. Myself I prefer nothing bigger than 40mm although I have a Seiko diver that is 42mm & I do think it is just a bit too big for my 7 1/4 wrist.

Chipmunk · 21 August 2011, 11:16 AM

The DD/DJII looks better on you IMO.

watchmaniac · 21 August 2011, 11:22 AM

For your wrist I would go 41mm. Keep the DSSD. They are two complete style watches and would be good to build a collection around.

Tough choice......all 3 look good on the OP.

Boopie · 21 August 2011, 12:11 PM

I think the 36 MM DJ looks better on you.

Engi · 21 August 2011, 12:28 PM

The DJII for you.

Ciao

jenniferjanef · 21 August 2011, 12:31 PM

By the look of your forearm, you look like a hulk.. The dssd looks best on you! The 36mm looks too feminine. Btw.. SEXYNICEMACHO~ wrist.. I like! .. Jennifer
