Getting smaller ... DJ36 advice

[nigelUK]

I had to sell my DJ41 blue due to employment situation (Crorona) but things have slightly changed so been looking to get another DJ . .

For a long time I've been getting more attracted to smaller pieces . I have a 7.25 wrist and tried an old vintage DJ on recently and it looked and felt great.. surprisingly. I didn't get it and felt I probably prefer something slightly newer.

I have been drawn to a classic TT version but also like the Steel blue. See attached watches currently available. Similar prices both 6 digit.

Interested in your thoughts, as I being indecisive !

I don't know my DJs as much as sports models. Is the roulette date desired or not ?

I wouldn’t be able to go past that all-steel one, love the colour on the date wheel too...

It depends on your collection. Out of these two, I'd choose the 116234 blue.

I like the two tone one myself.

Just to give you some perspective here’s a newer DJ on my 6.25” wrist. I think it looks perfect so on a larger 7.5 wrist it may feel small for some......

Looks way too big to my eyes for a DJ. If you read all my post I’ve owned a DJ41 & it was fine but I’m into smaller stuff nowadays .. horses for courses :)

Yes this is DJ36 and looks fine on my smaller wrist. On your larger wrist it will look smaller than a DJ41 which is what you’re looking for right?

I like the classic look of my DJ : TT 116233 w/ hidden Jubilee clasp and champagne dial. Of course, the blue DJ is also sharp. You can't go wrong with either one.

Personally, I think it's a matter of personal preference. I've tried the DJ36 on my wrist (tad over 7 inches) and wouldn't have a problem buying it. It's good to have the option either way, both look great.

Someone else said the following about 36mm watches here recently and I 100% agree... that when you put them on initially they just feel small and you can't gel with them.

Give it 24 hours and they feel the perfect size.

I think exactly this about my 36mm DJ. Wrists are smaller than yours at 7" exactly.

You really can't beat a DJ with an interesting dial and an oyster bracelet as a watch you can wear in all occasions. I happen to think that about the explorer too which might be a compromise on the two sizes for you at 39mm. Minus the date complication of course.

And I said oyster bracelet because its not too dressy for the casual days.

Blue dial oyster is my fav.
