Great choices! Personally I like the Day/Date Presidential...classic! I do like the Pearlmaster posted by @nvie. But for a long term watch you can't go wrong with the Presidential. As far as size is concerned...I'm in the older tPF member category. The older you get the harder it is to read the time. I now wear bigger watches so I can READ the damn time! I own a 33, 37, a 36mm size watch and find the 36mm perfect. I have small wrists but it works.
Does the Presidential come in a 34mm...might be worth it to try this size for piece of mind. Good luck and keep us posted.

Thankyou so much for the feedback! Unfortunately the daydate presidential only comes in 36mm or 40mm. So the 36 is quite bulky. Imagine if they released it in 34mm one it would sell like hot cakes hahhaa.
Do you have any photos of your 36,37mm watches?
Thankyou!!!
 
Yes can def the smaller 31mm Rolex without rubies. It comes with all types of dials, including just regular diamonds, index, Roman numerals etc. however the 31mm (smaller) Rolex is not really a classic. That’s why I like the IDEA of the larger Rolex (36mm) coz it’s a classic piece hahaha but yes it’s very very big. Jennifer Aniston wears it in 40mm!!!!!!! Which is the classic size and so does Victoria Beckham! And they have tiny wrists.
Right, and they look silly on their tiny wrists because they’re man sized watches. I don’t understand, classic....the style is classic in any size and classy if one wears the appropriate size. Bigger does not necessarily mean better.
 
I would get a Daytona. I have one, my wrists are small and I love it. I also have a 31mm and 36mm Datejusts find it too small so I never wear them. The Daytona is a 40mm but the smoothness is the bezel and watch make it a beautiful piece for women. Google “Daytona celebrities”. You will see a lot of women wearing it.

The Daytona is Rolex’s iconic piece.

Wowww Thankyou for the feedback. Do you have a picture of your wrists with the Daytona on by any chance? Thankyou!

Hi! I never posts photos (shy) but here you go! This is my Daytona. I love it, big chunky, statement watch. I love it with my small wrists! A guy saw my watch and said “petite lady with a big bold Rolex”. That is exactly the look I want! I am going to be little ole’ grandma with a big bold Rolex! [emoji51]

I hope you get a big watch! Good luck!
