I don't mind
Already figured so much. Did try a Day Date before (with the green dial) and found it too smal. On my wife's wrist that size is perfect. She liked that particular watch a lot btw :-/ But I thought that perhaps on a bracelet it could look a bit more suitable on my wrist. Sometimes a bracelet makes the overal look a bit more bulky. But it didn't. When choosing a modern Rolex it just has to be 40 mm.
Day Date 40
As I was waiting for an extra link being added to my little 15202ST for summer I couldn't help trying on the new Day Date. Finally Rolex has made the perfect size Day Date. 40 mm! The 36 mm is for girls. And the Day Date II (41 mm) just looks wrong in any...
If 36 mm is for girls, then all the Daytona Paul Newman and Explorer Lovers will be happy
To know that they are girls... Even if I am sure that there are some girls among the owners. 36 mm is quite an elegant size, Arie. Especially for a Day Date, which is a dressy Rolex. Now, I agree with you that it is mandatory to see watches in the real be...
I agree with Nicolas,
36 mm is the perfect size for an elegant, subtile dresswatch. I never liked the 41mm version, and not impressed with the new one, but it is more harmonized than the 41 mm one. But the real classical is the 36mm! Yours, Adam
:-o never should have said the word girls
not that there is anything wrong with girls ;-) Keep in mind that I am not talking vintage, but modern Rolex. And when it comes to a modern choice I feel that 36 mm is too small (ok ok depending on wrist size). But on my Western European farmers-wrist ;-)...

Without side by side comparison, I honestly don't see any differences..
Without side by side comparison, I honestly don't see any differences between the 40 and the 41... Looks great on you thou! Get the one that you like (I mean the dial).. The dial really makes the watch! Go platinum since that's your favorite, your first c...
Thanks very much for the pictures and your thoughts, but...
perhaps a bit more circumspection is in order? "The 36 mm is for girls." Many would disagree and some might take exception to such a blanket assertion. "And the Day Date II (41 mm) just looks wrong in any way possible." To you, perhaps. To others, maybe n...
We don't have to all think alike
or agree. That would be very very boring.... Enjoy your new addition!
Agree
I'm merely suggesting perhaps slightly less provocative and absolute pronouncements, that's all. We all have our own views and likes and I fully get and respect that. Regards This message has been edited by kkwn98 on 2015-07-25 06:42:28
day-date II amazing and not wrong :)
There are a lot of proud owners of the day-date II :) Ok you don't like but I don't think that it is/was wrong. It has a lot of wrist presence and is not for everyone but heh it is the president watch and sometimes discretion/under-statement is not requir...
