Comparing DJ36, Milgauss and GMT

[Frank_]

Hi all, I went to the AD today to try on some Rolexes. I was thinking about putting my name on the list for s sub date, but before doing so, I wanted to be 100% sure this is the perfect watch for me. This would be my first and last Rolex and I intend it to wear it daily and to the office (no suit).

8 years ago, I bought a 45mm Hamilton, which I kind of regret, because it's too big for my tiny wrists (6 1/4 inch). Which is why I haven't worn it that much, especially not in summer with short sleeves.

Of course, I couldn't try on a sub date (not in stock), but they had a GMT, which has a similar 40mm case. I tried it on, but because it wasn't fitted properly to my wrist, it's hard for me to tell if this will wear comfortably once I bought it and some links will be removed. It seems the lug to lug size is just a little bit to large for me, but will it bother me later on (just like with the Hamilton)? Will I wear it sleeveless without feeling I am making a huge statement wearing a clock on my wrist?

I also tried a blue dial Milgauss. I like it. I showed the pics to my girlfriend and she likes it as well, but warned me that because of it looking a bit more special and modern, it isn't as timeless as a Sub date. Although it has the same diameter as the GMT (and is thicker) I think it fitted better somehow. The lugs are slimmer, maybe that's why. Anyway, I am concerned this model will get boring to me too soon. The dial is spectacular to look at right now, but I am afraid I will get tired of it after 2 years or so. Any Milgauss owners here who wear this daily for some years now and still enjoy it? I have searched in this forum, but so far I only found happy Milgauss owners who just bought the watch.

Than I also tried on a 36mm datejust, with blue dial. I was surprised how small it was, but once on the wrist it looked alright. Nothing special, but alright.

Here are some pics for you to look at. I will take my own decision but posting here is a nice way to rethink stuff over. Thanks!
