Proper Size Rolex Watches for Men

Friday, 29.08.2014
People obviously take many factors into account when buying a watch -- the dial, what Numbers are on the dial, the type of bracelet, the style of the ring. The size of the watch itself is often an afterthought. However, you could argue that this is one of the most important things to consider when buying a new luxury watch. While you could argue that size also depends on taste, the truth is that some Rolex watches may look too small on your wrist, while others may be too big So now you're thinking, what size should I buy? Fortunately, we're here to help. There are two main categories for men's watches, 'medium' and 'large,' each containing a different Rolex. The mid-size Rolex watches for men span three sizes, the most popular being the classic 36mm Datejust. The traditional 36mm version was previously the standard men's size, but with the introductions of the larger 41mm models, the classic Datejust 36 has become one of the brand's most versatile models, appealing equally to both male and female buyers. The next size up is the Yacht-Master 37mm, which is actually a mid-sized watch. The versatile 37mm case size offers much more wrist presence than the Lady Yacht-Master, while simultaneously being noticeably lighter and more compact than the standard 40mm men's model. Since there's only one watch with this case size, you should be a fan of the Yacht-Master collection in order to enjoy it; however, it is the only Rolex sports model with a rotating bezel that is available in a size smaller than 40mm, making it the go-to option for those that want a unisex Rolex sports watch. You already know this as the classic everyday watch, so it's rather fitting that Rolex has forged it in a size that's universally timeless. And by that we mean it's the kind of size that's never going to go out of style - never too small, and in no way large. This is the best size for people who want something comfortable, unobtrusive, and utterly classic. The equally typical Oyster Perpetual collection is also offered with the option of a 36mm rolex replica case size. The 43mm Sea-Dweller is among the biggest watches currently produced by Rolex; however, it is still not the largest offering in the brand's current catalog. With depth rating of more than four times the 300 meters offered by the Rolex Submariner, the Sea-Dweller is Rolex's ultimate collection of professional dive watches. Historically, the Rolex Sea-Dweller was a 40mm watch; however, a large number of collectors complained that it was too thick relative to its fairly standard 42mm case diameter.
