36 or 41 mm datejust?

[xkavaz]

Hi, i'm looking to buy a datejust, there aren't really good rep, the only is the ARF 36mm. My wrist is 19cm/7.5inches, i'm tall etc etc..

​​​​i've a 34mm genuine datejust and i'm going to post a pic

A 36mm Can fit fine or i Need a 41mm?

You'll pull off the 41!

Thanks, do you know something about the 41mm REF / RE factory?
41mm are only noob and BP, and they have big issues, not Luke ARF
What do you think about a oyster Perpetual 39? Is similar to the datejust and the JF blue is a superrep

Definitely the 36mm. The ARF is a nice rep, it's a better and more proportioned watch all around. And 41mm reps are bad

Maybe if you want something bigger, buy the OP 39 or the Explorer I 39mm

Yeah i was looking for the OP 39, the JF blue still a super Rep right?

JF blue is not a super-rep. The Grey and Grape dial are.

The 39mm Explorer I and OP are a perfect mid-way between the 36mm DJ and sub-par 41mm DJ reps. BP DateJust 2 v2 A2824 was a good rep but still needed an AR'd cyclops.

Personally, I opted for the Explorer I. The elegance lies in its simplicity.

I beg to differ. Not all 41mm reps are bad. The BP DateJust 2 v2 A2824 is a good rep. BP quality has improved significantly from the old days.

http://www.asian7750.co/product_show.asp?P_id=4432 are you talking about this? Looks similar to OP. And the blue dial is good?

Yes there are a lot of good threads about the v2, but It isn't at the ARF level i think

That is a fantasy model. The 39mm Explorer was never released by Rolex with a blue dial. For that matter, neither did JF.
I would try another TD's website for reference. intime03.co, puretime.io or chazingtime02.co.

Are you looking for a blue dial Rolex? If that is the case, the only one close enough to the gen is the ARF 116200/ 116234 36mm DJ.

exact same wrist size as you mate, and a tall guy (6'4") and there is no way id be wearing a 36mm, looks like a ladies watch. go the 41, its perfect for our wrists, hell its not even 41 apparently its really 39.5mm or something even though rolex says its 41, i think they include crown or something do a google search on it

I'm 6'4" so I know what you mean.. a 36mm disappears. I don't know if buy the BP 41mm DJ or wait a good rep, or move to another watch like daytona

Yes you are correct, ARF wins for sure in quality but price is also higher.

Do you know something about the REF 41mm DJ? It's a new DJ Rep.. intime said is at the ARF levels

Pelagic is expecting an REF DJ 41 soon and will be doing a complete teardown and review. I suggest we wait for it. The dial and fluted bezel are looking real good along with a clone 3235
Exciting times.

What about the new GMF DJ 41mm's that were recently released?
