Hi all. I was thinking of picking up a 34mm OP blue or Black, AD didn’t have one to try on but should have one for me in around 6months. ? about how it wears in comparison to 36mm as I have a DateJust and I like the heft. I’m a big big fan of smaller watches and 36 is the largest I have ever owned despite the trend and having 7 1/2 inch wrists. There is something about the feel of Rolex oyster cases that feels substantial and was hoping a 34mm would carry that over a little. Any help would be appreciated
My wrist is about an inch smaller than yours, but I LOVES me an OP 34mm. They wear bigger than the numbers imply, in my opinion, and also compared to several 34mm Omegas I own. I think it’s a pretty perfect size.
I have been flirting with getting into the 34mm Rolexs and my Omega Constellation keeps egging me on. I also have been leaning to the gold OPs...no date. Prefer 18k but there are some wonderful ones in 14k.
love the 5700. yours has its original hands, which is a nice touch. one of the few gray dial watches i like
Every time I gaze in boutique windows, the display is full of big watches better suited to my upper arm than my wrist
It is only in the windows. I agree. People post pics all the time online with lugs overhanging on both sides and proclaiming along the lines of “ I’ve got a 7inch wrist so can’t wear a anything smaller than 38mm”. I feel like many have body dysmorphia when they view their wrists which is validated through social norms set by a few.
I find 34mm Rolex Oysters wear smaller than typical 34mm 60’s Omegas and the Rolex cases are generally thicker and the dials feel smaller.
