Rolex

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...  

just to be clear: did not post the failed picture of the Everose Day Date 40

looks fantastic!

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... 

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

DD is perfect in 36 happy sunday, nino ...  

that is a very sharp example!

same verdict. Too small.

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 suitab... 

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... 

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... 

or agree. That would be very very boring.... Enjoy your new addition!

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

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...
