Thinking of adding a preloved 24mm or 26mm Rolex, super outdated or okay for my wrist size?

I love 24-26mm watches, they're more like jewelry plus a lot easier to wear! 36mm hurts my wrist after a day of wearing, and leaves marks...

Do you still enjoy wearing your DJ?

I wear my 25mm Grand Seiko a lot more because it's even lighter and thinner, and I find the Rolex a bit flashy for work! I love both watches though, and enjoy just having the option to spice it up with a gold watch if I ever want to.

I love it! My SO loves GS I didn’t even know they made smaller watches!

Those look great!

The mini Panthere is definitely soon on my Cartier list, I’m tempted by the small with diamonds but love the mini 😍

My SO is a watch person so my watch journey is relatively new, but it’s been something I’ve been trying to bond with him with and would love to give Rolex a chance since I’ve seen so may I love on others!
I think I managed to convince my SO to at least add a large Tank to his collection from Cartier though 😂

Haha, the tank is beautiful! Good choice! Btw, I love your doggy in your profile pic.

The yellow gold smaller Cartier looks beautiful on you, to be very honest , I don't love the Rolex on you in your photo. It looks a bit too bulky and I think a more delicate style will look a lot better.

You have to trust your own eye on this one. I have tiny wrists (5 inch circumference on a bloated day), so I have to be very careful about the size of watch I wear. I like bold, chunky jewelry, but I can't have a huge watch face that spans the entire width of my wrist. Try, try and try different watches until you find something you adore.

I don’t like the 28 on me either, I love the mini Panthere, Gold is out of the budget atm but the steel mini is on my list 🥰

I agree! I’ll definitely scope out some more styles and sizes after the holidays calm down a bit

Sometimes your eyes need to adjust to a size. I have small wrists, wore a 24mm for 15 years and it looked right to me. Tried on a 28mm Rolex and it looked way too large. Luckily did not purchase anything straight away but took my time looking at various styles, and my eyes adjusted to the "modern" look of women's watches. Now I wear a 31mm Rolex and it looks just right.

Take your time.

I LOVE my 28. LOVE it.

I got DJ 26 mm in gold and steel beginning of this year. I have small wrists and always loved small watches. My only big watch is a sports watch (Longines Conquest in 29,5 mm). I had Cartier Panthere in medium but felt too big and sold it.

I searched a "clean" DJ in 26 mm for soo long. It is hard to find where I live which is Turkey. It took almost a year to find the one I wanted (Jubilee bracelet, two tone, 26 mm, champagne dial and no diamonds). I'm soo happy with it. Cause it's small I can wear it as a dress watch and it looks like jewelry which I love.

The only downsize with 24 or 26 mm, it is hard to find them with box and papers. If it is okey with you, I's say go for it

I uploded some images. My wrist is 16 cm (6,2 inches) BTW.

My wrist is just under 16 inches and I love big watches. The bigger the better.

But that’s me.

It sounds to me like a Rolex isn’t right for you. They are a chunkier watch at all sizes. And that’s ok. Don’t buy something if it doesn’t suit your eye. There are so many great brands out there.

I love small watches! I've been wearing a DJ 26mm for more than 15 years, and it looks great when you dress up or down, much more feminine, and it doesn't scream Rolex. I personally don't like the look of the bigger sizes unless they are in the sport range (Daytona, GMT, Submariner..etc).
I also ADORE the mini Panthere in Gold, it's in my wishlist. You should also check the new mini Baignoire.. so elegant!

I have a 26 rolex (in my profile picture) and it looks huge on me lol. It's comfortable and I wear it all the time and haven't gotten a new watch because they're all too big. Also whenever I go into a store they think it's a 28 because it looks "bigger on me", but I am 100% sure as the original owner it's a 26 lol.
