Hi everyone, just another quick update.

I contacted the jewellers this morning and informed them of my decision to go smaller, all I have to do now is decide which dial! I still can't decide between the white with roman numerals or white with diamonds, I have posted another thread (31mm but which dial? White with Roman Numerals or White with Diamonds ) so again I am asking for your assistance to ensure I don't make another mistake (I very much doubt they will let me change it again!)

A big thank you to everyone who assisted me in coming to this decision - I know I said I'd wait until Monday, but your invaluable advice helped me face the truth sooner rather than later xx :heart:

I agree the first watch was a tad too big, and that's coming from someone who likes big watches on women.

However, I realize I am in the minority, but I vote no on the diamonds. The Rolex is blingy enough on its own because of what it is. Adding diamonds makes it pretentious... but that's just me.

i think it's perfect!!!! i may be a little biased here, but i prefer men's sized watches. i currently have a men's ss tag and i love it, but would even go bigger.

my dream watch is basically the men's ss rolex air king, so yeah, i think yours is perfect. not too clunky at all.

apparently it's the trend now to wear men's sized watches.

EDIT: just noticed that you have decided to exchange it for the smaller size. oh well, i'm sure the smaller size will look good on you, as well. congrats on a gorgeous watch!

I think that you can never go wrong with diamonds and I think that the smaller size will make you happier and more comfortable, although the bigger watch looked fine.

I vote a tad smaller too... though I might not be the best one to post as I TOTALLY don't get the big-chunky-watches-on-girls thing... I think if someone gave me one of those I'd sell it on ebay! LOL. I'm more of a Cartier Tank girl. I think if there's any doubt in your mind it'll always be there, so if there is - go a bit smaller! :)

Try on the 31 mm size. It's a wonderful size. Big enough, but not too big. Your 36 mm looks fine on you as well, but I think in years to come, you may be happier with the 31 mm. I just can't help feeling that women and big watches are a trend that may pass sooner or later. Looks wonderful now, but do you think that you will love it years from now?
If you do try on the 31 mm and still love the 36 mm better, then it's the watch for you :)

edit, just noticed you've decided to go 31 mm
*** A Diamond Dial would be gorgeous on your new 31 mm ;) ***
