Rolex 36 or 31mm for a woman

[Spartan4Life]

I have a 31, and my wrist is not small (average to slightly large).

These are the 36 on my 6 inch wrist.

Very nice. I love the Oyster bracelet on the top. And the MOP face on the bottom. But the 36 mm is my favorite.

This is nice, too. I've even tried this one one before about three years ago. But I wish they made in version in the 36, that would be perfect.

I have a 36 mm and I love it. When I looked at pics on this forum before I got my watch, I thought I wanted a 31 mm -- when I tried them on in person, I much preferred the 36mm. Your mom will be thrilled!

Loving the look of the diamond markers. I'll be purchasing in the next couple weeks. I may have to get the 31 for her because the lugs are off her wrists when she tried some on last week. She is leaning forward a fluted bezel now. Stay tuned!

I tried on a Rolex for the first time recently and they happened to be the sizes you were thinking about! I guess I have smallish wrists. I prefer the 31mm!

Hope this helps!

These are both beautiful watches! Thank you for sharing and I agree the 31 fits you best but the 36 is great too. Were you thinking sticks? I love the sticks too but gravitate toward the Roman numerals.

Yes, I like the sticks and it's simplicity. I think the Roman numerals are a bit big and busy.

Sticks are luminous as well - decorative and practical!

So here it is! She let me wear it for this one shot. Lol. Thank you all for your very helpful suggestions and comments. This is indeed a 36.

Buy a non rolex 36mm watch, have her wear it at home, so she can really experience the size of that watch for a few days. In the end, if that's what she wants, you would wishbone to get happy, I'm sure.

I bought her the 36 mm Rolex which is posted above. She loves it!

That's what I did to decide on a Rolex Submariner. I loved the look. 2 weeks after I got the tester watch its crystal cracked and I went and bought the real thing. It's a good dial for older eyes LOL, for easy reading.
