Hi, everyone: I just need a piece of advice; do you think the Datejust as shown here is too big for my wrist!? 40 mm seems just right; but this is 41 mm. I believe. Anyway, thanks for your comments!

Thatguy · 6 May 2013, 08:35 AM

Close but ok if you like it.

ttmedical · 6 May 2013, 08:35 AM

Absolutely not, it looks great! My Daytona wears just about this same size on my wrist (being 40mm of course). Incredible timepiece, and as I have a Daytona exactly like the one in your profile pic and recently acquired a Datejust (36mm though), I have to say you can't go wrong with adding this DJII to your collection!

jason1332 · 6 May 2013, 08:39 AM

Sorry...yes. :-( Wear what you love though.

Lgear080 · 6 May 2013, 08:40 AM

How does it feel? Only your opinion matters.

Rolexwatch · 6 May 2013, 08:41 AM

It looks a little too big for you, in my opinion. Both lugs are too close to both sides of your wrist.

Yeap, looks big for you. But the most important thing that you have to ask yourself is, "-do I like the way it looks on me?-" If the answer is yes, then the watch is perfectly right for you.

zeuloa · 6 May 2013, 09:28 AM

In my opinion the 36mm DJ might fit your wrist better.

Sherwooddavid · 6 May 2013, 09:30 AM

Looks great bud,enjoy it !!

joe stout · 6 May 2013, 09:32 AM

Read some threads and look at the wrist shots,it's all what turns you on.
Best.............jstout

xtra3cats · 6 May 2013, 09:32 AM

Looks good on you. Big watches is the going trend, not for me though. Wear it with pride

427shark · 6 May 2013, 09:37 AM

How big is your wrist?

BoomerSooner · 6 May 2013, 09:38 AM

Your Daytona looks good and so does the DJ II from our profile pic.

tomchicago · 6 May 2013, 09:40 AM

Too big. Get the classic DJ.

I think it looks just fine, but as others have said, it really only matters how you feel with it on your wrist. It's a beautiful watch, that's for sure.

Boopie · 6 May 2013, 11:15 AM

I think it looks too big on your wrist.

floater156 · 6 May 2013, 11:53 AM

looks fine. wear what makes you happy, not what I prefer.

threemonkeys · 6 May 2013, 12:11 PM

It really only matters what you think. No one outside this crazy watch forum would spend any time thinking about the size of your watch.

outlaw468 · 6 May 2013, 12:13 PM

Not bad but I think the classic 36mm would better suit your wrist.

Nycturbovr6 · 6 May 2013, 12:15 PM

I think it looks pretty good

franzy · 6 May 2013, 12:30 PM

Can you post another picture with the watch higher on your arm? It is so close to your hand, and off centered. This makes it difficult to tell. Sharp watch.

Try wearing it on your right wrist. It might feel better for you.

kamek · 6 May 2013, 12:39 PM

Look at it in the mirror in relation to your forearm.

Psmith · 6 May 2013, 12:41 PM

You have it pushed down onto your hand, but it looks fine on you to me

Alexth1 · 6 May 2013, 12:43 PM

I think you pass.

DT14 · 6 May 2013, 01:45 PM

too big - and yes you will get used to it (as the frequently repeated refrain goes) BUT that doesn't mean it still doesnt look too big

kfalk · 6 May 2013, 01:49 PM

Looks good! And beautiful piece.

improviz · 6 May 2013, 01:51 PM

One problem with deciding based upon close-ups of watch on wrist is that the perspective of the photo really gives the watch a much larger appearance on the wrist than when viewed from a more reasonable (and realistic) viewing distance, say a yard or so...if you look at some of the close-ups I've posted here you'd swear I've got a 6.5" wrist and a 40mm is borderline large, but in fact it's 7.5", and some of the watches that look quite large in the close-ups look borderline too small when viewed on my wrist in a mirror from 3-4 ft away.

So my advice to the OP would be to spend a bit more time viewing it from that distance, as most people won't be viewing it with their face oriened 5" away from your wrist.

caryyee · 6 May 2013, 01:52 PM

It's an ok size for a sports watch, but for a DJ, it looks a little marge. DJ's should complement your appearance, not be the star attraction! :-)
