Thank you all for your honest opinion. It looks like most of you like the midsize better. I love my midsize but some days, it looks tiny bit too small :huh:

I love men's size on Reese Witherspoon, I just don't know if I can pull it off. I guess I have more thinking to do... :thinkin:

Hmm I don't think Reese's looks big on her at all and her wrist looks pretty small...It is funny how what you are used to looking at can change how you feel about the size...For years I had the new style lady size and I thought that looked pretty chunky (it was compared to 24mm watch I wore for years) Then started looking at Midsizes and over time my lady size started looking very petite! I think because you are looking at DH's 36mm all the time it makes the Midsize seem small in comparison. You can definitely pull off the 36mm, if you like the size on you, that is really all that matters.

How about a 34 mm?

I prefer the look of the 31 mm over the 36 mm on your wrists, but maybe a 34 can be a nice compromise?

My wrists have the same size as yours, and I recently bought the 31 mm. I did try on a 34 though and I also liked how it looked. [I went with the 31 mm because the dial I wanted was not available in 34 (and DH liked the 31 better on my wrist).]

My first thought was 31mm. I have all sizes of watches. My j12s are 33mm and 38mm. I just think that eventually the trend of big watches will get out-dated so it is a safer direction to go with the 31mm. JMO. I have a 34mm rolex air king though that is my favorite!

I think the 31 mm is great on you, much prefer it to the 36.

Aside from that, the practical question I have is if you could even get enough links taken out of a 36mm to fit you, without having to take out a permanent link. That would permanently alter the watch, unlike other link removal.

I think that even if the big watch trend fades, the 36mm will still look chic and classic. I'm 5'3" and have a small frame and want the 36mm. I also love the midsize, but as you already have one, I'd size up for different options.
The 31mm might be perfect with dressier outfits or something like a pencil skirt and pumps (if you wear that.) I use a ladies Cartier Tank for this purpose. But for everyday outfits with jeans and whatever you pair them with, the 36mm adds a lot of punch!

I honestly think that the 31 midsize looks best on your wrist. It will look different from your current midsize since it will have a different bezel, bracelet, and be two toned. I think that would be great variety and another 31 would be perfect since it looks great on you.
