It's sad, Rolex is almost catering to the women now with the 36mm watches, especially when they throw flowers on the dial. You might soon find some great deals on men's 36mm DJ's.

Too small for a men's watch! I love diamonds and the dial is OK too. Still too small...........IMOH

I guess it's true what they say, 36mm will be women size.

This isn't a fad but the evolution of the wristwatch. Humans are getting bigger I suppose...

Oh gawd... I certainly hope they're not considering that unisex.

Looks like Rolex could've taken a page out of Louis Vuitton's Tambour watches:

These will be welded to every female celebrity wrist faster than you can say "photo op"

Patrick Heiniger has been declaring for a while now that "women are the future of Rolex". Certainly, recent adverts I have seen show female models wearing various 36mm DJs, midsize YM, AK, and even a GMT IIc.

I don't think this means that any of the above are now for ladies only. Rather, that the old size limits (say up to 31mm for ladies, gents starting at 34mm) no longer exist. And of course if it means increased watch sales...


Cheers

my daughter likes it there are enough styles to keep most of us happy, although I must admit I prefer the vintage look to most of the new line up

I like the design - similar style to the display settings you see in ADs. And these are considered by some to be works of art and collectable (if you can get hold of them that is - I believe some forum members have)


Cheers

Indeed. The 36mm DJ and DD are still my favorite Rolex watches...and my wife favorites on me. Plenty of women I know wear 44mm Panerais. I'm pretty sure watches aren't gender specific.

Always the most rewarding approach, IMO.
