A Pepsi and a President - The Wrist Comparison
I thought I would share some photos of my DD36 President and Pepsi so you guys can see how they fit on my 6.75" flat wrist.
Sitting side by side, it appears that there is a large size gap between the two. You could look at it like the Pepsi is too large, or that the President is too small.  However, you can see that alone, the Pepsi fits great and sits well on my wrist.  But so does the President!  Here is a shot in full attire, which obviously. have not had to wear since March shelter in place...   The bottom line is that both watches command their own allure on the wrist regardless of size! |

Both look perfect for what they are..the tool watch looks appropriately rugged, and the President has wrist presence by simply being itself. Congrats on a perfectly complementary pair!

Very nice watches. The president most especially is an attraction itself.

I've always been a GMT fan, but ooh, that President! IMHO, the DD in yellow gold is the quintessential Rolex.

To my eye, the GMT looks a bit big. The DD looks perfect. The gloves look strange!

Thank you for the great pics! I would be grateful for another DD pic without the glove, simply let the watch speaking. Have a nice day!

Love the watches. They both look amazing. Great photos too.
Can't begin to tell you how much I dislike driving gloves. Sorry. |

A 40 to a 40 would have been a fairer comparison.

Sadly, Rolex have now discontinued that style with the nice lume indices and hands, and with the white or black dial options, in favour of nasty blinged up iced ghastlyness and so my long held plans for buying one for my 60th birthday in a couple of years has now vanished. Only option will be used, but there's very few about in the UK, so I don't hold out much hope.

Great photog work there
IMHO the 36 will wear larger if you wear it higher up on the wrist

Be careful with those driving gloves because the button on top could scratch the side of the watch case.

Classic duo. At 36 the DD is the ideal classical Rolex gold watch especially with champagne dial. I wouldn't change a thing.
