Help with Rolex purchase

Could you let me know what size this is? Love the look and agree it looks understated and sporty for a gold watch.

Thank you! It’s actually 26mm but I have teeny wrists so it looks bigger.

That's great! Thank you, it's extremely helpful as I also have tiny wrists and was wondering if the 26 would look "tiny" but with the bezel I think it works perfectly. Enjoy your beautiful watch

Do you know what size your wrists are? I think I’m around 13.5cm. I’m a size 15 Cartier Love

I just measured, exactly 13.5! So happy I saw your post because I now know definitely I can write off the 28+ sizes. Also very helpful to have received a cartier love size recommendation on the size! A lot of people have small wrists but I can't always take them as reference because 13.5 is tiny!

Oh perfect! Here is a pic of my 28mm Tudor so you can see the size difference

Thank you for sharing! Both look beautiful on you, complicating my decision. I think I need to try on both sizes but very helpful and encouraging to know I won't be going any bigger than a 28.

That was something I was wondering about,the wear on the oyster. I have had a gold Rolex with diamond markers and a diamond bezel years ago but found it a bit “fancy” for my life style and ended up selling it. I wanted it to look more casual. (as casual as a gold Rolex can look)

I have a stainlesss with oyster band, and a gold with president, and that would be my preferred choice for each. I am not saying a plain gold Rolex is per se casual, but it is still much less loud that the diamonds Rolex and those with complicated faces and bezels in my opinion... It is a very “clean” (and classic) look and the president band has very simple lines (more so than the Jubilee). I wear mine on the loose side and it reads as a bracelet. I like dressing my gold Rolex down: with a pair of jeans and a black round neck or white t-shirt and trainers or loafers, such an easy look.
Olivia Palermo has one and she wears it well in my opinion.
