Which one do you prefer between the 36mm and 39mm? I can't decide.

Wolfgang427 · 3 March 2012, 05:35 AM

Welcome.

I like the 36mm better, but why not try both on and see what YOU like.

Dr. Robert · 3 March 2012, 05:49 AM

Smaller wrist=36mm, bigger wrist=39mm...............I have smaller wrists, so I prefer the 36mm one.......but remember, IMHO, a Rolex/Tudor oyster cased watch wears bigger than its specs. Try them on.

joe100 · 3 March 2012, 05:52 AM

i like the proportions of the 36mm better

DolphinV8 · 3 March 2012, 05:55 AM

Have a 36 myself, so I probably want a 39 more, lol.

Nalk7 · 3 March 2012, 05:55 AM

I got the 36mm and love it! As Dr. Bob and Wolfgang said, the watch does wear larger than what the specs will make you believe. This is due to it having a thin bezel, 20mm lug space and fairly large dial. Go to an AD and try them both.

jevans41 · 3 March 2012, 06:01 AM

You should definitely try on both, and ascertain which you prefer.

F&Iguy · 3 March 2012, 06:09 AM

I bought the 39mm because I liked the 3,6,9 look better. They are both very nice watches

majdeegans · 3 March 2012, 06:15 AM

I am wearing a PAM 111 now so I am leaning towards the 39mm based on the size alone however my question is more regarding the other differences ... white numbers vs silver, etc.

Thanks for the welcome and advice so far!!!!!!!

erling · 3 March 2012, 06:26 AM

I bought the 39mm and I like it.

horseco · 3 March 2012, 06:44 AM

I actually like them both equally...

Sky-Dweller · 3 March 2012, 07:54 AM

They are both nice, but 39mm version looks better IMO.

Art 1 · 3 March 2012, 07:55 AM

39.

EchoBlueUK · 3 March 2012, 07:59 AM

39 but both are a bit small nowadays.

KNMAD · 3 March 2012, 08:27 AM

Like both, but if had to pick 39.

warren G. · 3 March 2012, 08:31 AM
