DJ 36mm on a 7" wrist
 
What do you think ? Too small ?

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That looks great.

I am surprised though as my wrist are 7 1/4 and when I tried a 36mm Explorer it looked very small.

I normally like 39-42mm. But cases sometimes wear normal, other times smaller or larger. A well-known example is the Rolex Explorer 2 42mm which wears more like a 44mm according to most people.

I tried it at an AD and feel it fits me well though.

I think it looks perfect on your wrist! Usually I only see the local AD have DJ36 in fluted bezel and jubilee bracelet. Very nice combination you have. Do you need to pre order for such configuration?

Generally I find 36-38mm is smallish on my
7" wrist but somehow I find DJ 36mm wears
Big (don't really like the bulky DJ2 41mm)..

DJ looks even bigger with smooth n fluted
Bezel with Oyster Bracelet ..

IF I may suggest, I think this thread would become more meaningful, wonderful, or even helpful, if all posters can state:

1. Wrist size (6.5", 7.0, 7.5" etc)

2. Preferred face size.

3. A huge plus point, is to post a pic and possibly state the grail on wrist - to put things into perspective. (like one or two of the posters have did recently)

Instead of merely stating the preferred face diameter size.  :thumbsup: :Cheers:

Hopefully previous posters can repost accordingly.  :thumbsup: :Cheers:

40-43 for a dive or chrono. Tried an IWC big Pilot (46mm), far too big for my wrist, lugs hanging over the edge, looking like a girl!. I like a 39mm for a dress watch, suits my wrist perfectly

Do you guys go through a phase of changing your fave watch size? I went from what I deemed as bigger watches (>42mm), to a long many years phase of 36mm (dress) - 40/42mm (diver), and recently found that I had been flipping and buying such that most of my current beaters are 44-47mm. And because of that, the 20/22mm straps that I have had to go in the cabinet for a while, while I get the 24mm ones to match the bigger watches.

I tend to disagree on this. I think the Explorer 2 wears more like a 40mm to me. :)

Apart from wrist size, wrist shape plays an equally important factor here. I have a 6" wrist but flat, I like watches between 42-44mm.

42mm and above. All my watches have met these size criteria. Except for my dress watch of course.

I have chopstick wrists, so 40mm is the best size for me personally. I have bought and sold watches because of this - it took me a while to figure out that sweet spot, so I'm getting rid of anything over 40mm that I have.

42mm and above! But there are watches that still wear big under 40mm like AP 15300. So i really depends on the design.
