Has anyone seen datejust 28 in real life?


I was wanting to buy 26 but that got this continued and now it got replaced 28


And i dont know how i feel about this


Seems like its not small or big so
Its not dainty nor stylish..

If you know what I mean...




What are your thoughts?


Do i just need some time to get used to the size?


Will love to see some pics if anyone has it!
 
I don't have any pics but if you aren't set on buying new you can definitely still find pre owned 26mm datejusts either from Rolex authorized dealers who sell pre owned watches or from reputable sellers online. Have you tried either on in person? I haven't ever seen them side by side so I wonder how much difference there would be visually between the 26 and the 28.
 
I am in the market for the new 28 datejust, to me it's a better, updated, more modern version of the 26. I haven't seen it irl yet, soon.. To my eye the 26 was always a little on the small side; 31 is fine for now, but when large watches fall out of style, the 28 seems to be the perfect in between size that will 'stand the test of time' - pun intended, lol

I have two 26, both datejust and one is presidential. I love them both and they can be worn casually/dressy and still look fabulous. The 28 will only be a small difference and just as beautiful.
 
I've tried on the 28 and I like it, but I also like the 26 and the 31! Depending on your wrist size and how/where you want to wear it, any of those 3 sizes would be a great choice. I would also think that a number of 26's would still be available as they clear out old inventory so if you truly love the 26, some AD should be able to source one for you.
 
I have a 5.5in wrist and love the classic and dressy look of the 26, and the sporty of the 31 on me. 28 I haven't tried on nor seen irl. Depending on your wrist size and personal preference - I personally don't think I'll be a big fan.
