Definitely keep the ladies size. You sound petite, so I think that a midsize will look like a toy/play watch on you. Plus it will be heavy and probably will roll around.

I think the midsize would look fine on
you and I think it's still small enough
that it will always be in style.
If it's going to be your only watch
then get the 31mm. If not, keep the
26mm.
I only have or want one Rolex so I
got the 31mm.

I would hate to see you give up your beautiful ladies rolex. Due to price increases it would cost so much more to buy a 31mm now. Hold onto your existing watch and buy another brand for sporty!

^^^^ I just checked my receipt and I bought my ladies TT MOP diamond dial Rolex in Feb. 2009 and it was around $8400 (with a very good discount from an AD) before tax and after CT tax it was $8975. Now it retails for $12,195! I am shocked that it has increased that much! I think I would be able to trade it in or sell it for close to what I paid because of this, and I only wore it twice...

I definitely only want one Rolex and one watch also. So, I want one that it perfect for all occasions.

I am only 5'2" and have a midsize and a 36mm - love them both. The 36mm definitely appears more sporty but my midsize is perfect for all occasions. Good luck with your decision.

About 3 years ago I bought my Rolex Ladies size Datejust two tone fluted bezel Jubilee bracelet and MOP diamond dial - I had no thoughts of even trying the midsize because at the time the ladies size felt chunky on my tiny wrist and I figured anything bigger would look too large on my very short and petite 4 11" self...

Well, fast forward about 3 years (I'm now almost 29) and the midsize has starting to creep into my thoughts and my ladies size no longer seems chunky like it once did and I wear in alone on my wrist. I have also gained a good amount of weight and my wrist is no longer teeny tiny and although I am loosing it, I can't stop thinking about the midsize! It seems like most ladies even those of petite stature have the midsize.

I love everything else about my ladies size so I would selling or trading in my ladies size and basically be buying the same watch in the midsize, is that totally ridiculous??

This is my only watch though and I want to be able to wear it daily as well as to the occasional formal wedding, event, etc... Would the same watch in the midsize be "too chunky" for fancier events? and is the midsize more of a trendy, less classic size?

Please help me decide!!

yes for the first part, and no to second question. the midsize seems sport wearing but definitely is not a trendy watch.

For only one, keep your lady size is best I would think

I am pretty sure that I am going to get the same watch in the Midsize and trade in or sell the ladies size. I went to the only AD in my area and tried on a Midsize for the first time and really liked the size, it seems just right and didn't look huge, just a little bit bigger then the ladies which really what I wanted. I was worried it might look too large but it really doesn't - It's perfect IMO even for smaller, petite woman!

They didn't have the TT MOP diamond dial with fluted bezel & Jubliee bracelet like my ladies size and they couldn't find it in their most recent Rolex style book in either ladies or Midsize, just with the yellow gold smooth bezel. Did they stop making this model??:confused1: I know they did at least a few yrs ago when I bought my ladies.. does.anyone know??

:wtf: I knew prices went up but didn't know so much! Yikes! My husband will be thrilled though, his 'investment' has gone up.

More reason why you shouldn't sell it! I seriously think you should keep it. There's always changing of mind by adding on more watches to your collection.

This has been a really interesting thread to read. I am in the process of buying a Rolex and am stuck between a 26mm, 29mm, and 31mm. I love all three sizes. The 26mm does seem like it would fit a dressier occasion the best but the midsize seems like the best size for day to day. Let us know what you end up doing. Prices have definitely gone up.

I have the ladies size and I understand where you are coming from. When I spend a lot of time on TPF I start thinking i wish I had got the mid size. When I'm not looking on here all the time I am very happy with my ladies size.

Sometimes this forum can make you want more things and always makes me feel my jewellery collection is tiny and that my stones are tiny, whereas in the 'real' world I have much more than most lol! ;)
