Jay (Eire) presents a compelling argument for the enduring appeal of the 36mm Rolex, showcasing two examples separated by four decades. His post invites readers to reconsider the relevance of classic case sizes in an era often dominated by larger watches. This exploration highlights how certain dimensions transcend fleeting trends, maintaining their charm and wearability over generations.

Good things come in small packages ! Definitely true for me and Rolex.  

Here are two 36mm watches, approximately 40 years apart in age.  A classic case size like 36mm remains relevant.

Excuse my not setting the correct date on the DD yesterday, accidentally jumped past the correct date and as you folks will appreciate I was too lazy to go around the moon again (thank you non quick set!).

They don't look like 36mm. probably like me, on the smallish wrist size.

I had taken a shot indoors during a coffee stop, but it really needed some natural light so I took a quick detour.

When I look at the pictures like this I do often wonder what Iโ€™m doing wearing 40mm watches for example. But they do look a little smaller in real life, although on the bracelet each definitely wears bigger than if they were on a strap.
