Thank you, really happy to be here.
I have yet to own a modern Rolex, but so far I actually have both a 34mm and 36mm vintage.
The 36mm I have inherited from my late grandfather and the 34mm I bought on a whim.
I love both sizes, but I think 36mm looks good on most peoples wrist. I love my 34mm, but sometimes I wonder if it is "too small".
Maybe I am just caught up in other people's thoughts and have yet to formulate preference of my own.

You might like to post a few photos, perhaps start a new thread and tell us how you got into watches and, roughly, where you’re based.

We have members all over the world who generally share the same interests.

Hi and welcome,
I think both have their merits. The 36mm is usually my preferred size for Rolex but as you can see from my comparison with the Black op I owned the size difference is minimal, enhanced by the fact it’s a white dial.
I’m a sucker for symmetry and I do like the double indices but as a potentially permanent piece I do like the enlarged single indices in the 34mm.
I am a fan of 34mm watches in general and have owned a frankly ludicrous amount of them. I currently also own a 34mm JLC MUT. In regards to the current social norm of <38mm being classed as small I don’t go in for this. I prefer smaller watches and don’t actually consider 34s, 36s etc as small, to me it seems perfectly normal for a man with a 7.5inch wrist to have a moderately sized watch.
There are of course some larger watches I like and some I love but with not unlimited funds I’m happy with smaller watches.
It’s interesting that in the 50s and 60s, the time we consider to represent a traditionally masculine post war period, 33/34mm watches were in the majority.
As @Spruce mentioned it would be great to see a post of your watch.
All the best

I am still figuring things out, but I will definitely start posting more photos. Thanks for the warm welcome.

34mm, I find wears not that much different on a bracelet. On a strap, it's more noticeable unless I'm wearing a suit, in which case, I don't really want a large watch a. Then again I have smallish wrists.
