My wrist is 17.5cm, so not that much smaller than yours

Obviously, it depends on the morphology, but I think that one can easily wear the DJ 36mm up to 18.5cm. Objectively, it would suit a wrist of this size, and people wouldn't think twice. They really didn't 10 or 15 years ago.
But then, it is a question of getting used to a somewhat scaled down watch. Especially if one is accustomed to a larger size. It might really look odd at first.
39mm is a great size, very versatile, and probably my favourite. And the OP39 is, in my view, the best model that Rolex produces these days.I like it better than the Explorer 214270, and I might get it some day, with the white dial.

I also think that Rolex should offer an intermediate size between the DJ36 and the DJ41. A Datejust 38mm would look terrific.

Great watch!

however if it runs constantly 4 sec fast per day versus the claim of 2 sec, I would think Rolex would do something if you bring it back. Most rate test of this movement hit the 2 sec or less variation...
