If anyone has pics of a DayDate 36mm on a wrist size of 7” and up, I’d love to see them.

I just tried this 36mm one on. And I’ve had the platinum wave dial, which is also 36mm.

I’ve owned the 40mm, and while it fits fine, I find it not the style I want for this type of watch.

That white dial watch pictured on you is hot!

Sorry, had to post the obligatory Tony Soprano pic

It's personal preference, so go with the one you love to see on your wrist.

From your first picture, I think it looks too small but a lots of people love 36mm, they think it's classic.

7.5”.

Thx, this isn’t the one I’m looking at, but it’s definitely a good looking watch.

Appreciate that, and agree - I will always go with my heart. I’m sold on the 36mm for me over the 40mm. With that said, I agree the distance shot may look a little small, but not too small for my liking.

I also like the 36mm because you see more of the bracelet when looking down on the watch, and not just the watch head. The presidential bracelet is such an integral and good looking part of the watch and wearing experience.

I’d go 36mm for my next DD in YG with white or champagne dial. The 40 was cool for the PT as a sportier setup, but 36 looks better with fluted and in colored metal. Looks great on you!

Don't confuse "Tony Soprano," the character, with James Gandolfini, the actor.

James Gandolfini wore a 40mm Submariner Date, which was reported stolen.

Rolex1982 · 4 February 2024, 03:52 PM

I would love to own the 36mm platinum someday.

And Tony is a legend! And Gandolfini RIP

18.5 cm here, which is over 7”.
36mm is absolutely the way to go! THE Rolex

referencetwenty8 · 4 February 2024, 07:27 PM

100% right on having more of the bracelet show and less being about the watch head.

Cru Jones · 4 February 2024, 07:30 PM

I personally think the DayDate looks best at 36 regardless of wrist size

A dream watch for me is the 18238 in the configuration below. Love the brushed lug tops.

Not my photo:

Sorry, I had to

kauffee · 4 February 2024, 11:32 PM

I’m not sure if it’s real or in my head, but I feel like the newest DD36 (128238) wears smaller than the 118238 or 5-digit models. It didn’t look bad on my wrist in pics, but it felt small when I looked down at it, and I ended up going with the DD40.

jamesbondOO7 · 5 February 2024, 12:49 AM

The fluted bezel on the current one is very flashy and this might be the reason the watch feels smaller? Also, the date and the day are on a white background instead of a goldish one. Plus the polished lug tops.

Hardtimes · 5 February 2024, 01:57 AM

The 36 is the best DD INHO

36mm is the true path …

Long live the 36mm Day-Date! The YG DD36 with white dial looks perfect on you.

Phrank · 5 February 2024, 06:01 AM

I'm 6'4", 230lbs, 7.5 wrist approx, here's my 18238 A-Serial (1999) Rolex Day-Date with silver dial and sticks. One of my favourites for sure.

Helping convince me on a dd36! Great thread

The new yellow 36 DD with white stick dial is really impressive.
