Rolex

Two days, and 36mm two ways !

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!).

Your DD is an absolute knockout

Thank you T, the oldie is definitely the goldie in this case.

Gorgeous pair.

👍🏻

By: Jay (Eire) : March 29th, 2024-02:53

36 mm a perfect size.

By: hora12reborn : March 28th, 2024-20:26

For me, most definitely.

By: Jay (Eire) : March 29th, 2024-02:53

Both good looking watches

By: GuyT : March 28th, 2024-20:42

I haven’t seen that dial on the DD before. What is the ref please?

It’s an 1803, from the mid-late 70s.

36mm looks perfect on your wrist 👌🏻

By: 1WatchMan : March 28th, 2024-21:03

I do think so also. Thanks for looking.

By: Jay (Eire) : March 29th, 2024-03:02

For some reason, it looks a bit small when I try one on myself, but not the case for you 👌🏻

By: 1WatchMan : March 29th, 2024-08:01

I have a smaller wrist, 6.25 inches or so.

By: Jay (Eire) : March 29th, 2024-18:55

My wrist is not much bigger, but it looks a hair small

By: 1WatchMan : March 30th, 2024-12:22

Everything just looks so good on you!

You are definitely one of the most stylish members of WPS!

Didn’t realize that contrast was there, one WFH day, one office day.

By: Jay (Eire) : March 29th, 2024-03:01

36 mm is my favorite size, for the OP.

By: amanico : March 28th, 2024-22:04

Indeed. It suits all wrists.

By: Jay (Eire) : March 29th, 2024-03:00

Very convincing, at least for me.

By: amanico : March 29th, 2024-13:42

Two winners for sure. The DD wins the DNA and charm context for me ☺️

By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : March 28th, 2024-22:06

Yes, it’s hard to beat.

By: Jay (Eire) : March 29th, 2024-03:00

Plus the President bracelet is in my opinion the pinnacle.

Indeed one the most comfortable bracelet in the market

By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : March 29th, 2024-11:22

Both equally nice.

By: NautNut : March 28th, 2024-23:12

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

Yes.

By: Jay (Eire) : March 29th, 2024-02:58

When I look at the pictures like this I do often wonder what I’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.

It’s not the size that matters…

By: gary_g : March 29th, 2024-00:55

It’s the motion of the gears… 😜😜😜

Or in the case of the DD…the non quick set motion.

By: Jay (Eire) : March 29th, 2024-02:55

Well done on that OP shot! And the DD, of course ;-)

By: Echi : March 29th, 2024-02:21

That one came out well.

By: Jay (Eire) : March 29th, 2024-02:56

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

I am not macho enough to wear 40mm Rolexes! :-)

By: sham1 : March 29th, 2024-06:44

36mm is the ideal size for me too. I love your Tiffany dial watch.

Thanks Sham.

Was fortunate to get it in hindsight. At that time I did have a AD I had some history with and so that definitely helped. Plus, early on I don’t think the 36mm OP was as popular across male and female.
