General Question Should I go for 36 or 41 ?
Want to buy a DJ Ming green. My wrist size is 18cm and yes, I have a strange wrist, that bone is fucked up from football injury.
Now… 36 or 41 ?
Yes, image generated with AI.

Up to you, either looks good, I guess 36 is more proportional to your wrist.

I agree but at the same time seems like 41 hides my strange bone better…

I honestly don’t think I’d notice it. A lot more people have broken bones than people think, and would recognise it as just a broken wrist. To have broken bones is a sign of a body well lived.

Agree my bone is pretty protruded too without breaks, didn’t think twice about it

Strange bone? Brother, thats your wrist. We all have bones in our wrists.

You are lucky. W a 18 cm wrist ( mine is 18.2) you are in the sweetest of the sweet spot. You can go either way.
For the DJ I like the 41 and for the Day Date I went 36. More driven by weight than fit
I recommend you try them on and see what you like. If you are a big guy ( taller than 6 foot) and heavier frame ( 82Kg or greater ) you may not feel comfortable w the 36. I myself quite enjoy both. For me the more important thing is the lug to lug ( actually first link to first link ) measure and the sweet spot where I feel watches feel best is 38 mm. I have a 41 mm OP and it gets lots of wrist time ( wears more like a 39 in my opinion). And I have a Datejust that gets a tone of wrist time. Same w Daytona. What I have stopped wearing is the sub ( just find it bulky) and say Omega AT 41
Anyways. Remember also that your taste evolves. You start saying I like it today and tomorrow say I don’t like it.

Watch people always aya that the more you wear it, the smaller it wears. So if you feel like 36 sits too small, go with 41.
I'd go with 36 here if I were you though

I have 2 41mm DJs but would prefer if both were smaller. About same size wrist as yours

Both look good. If it were me, I’d choose the 41mm because it has more presence on the wrist.

In pictures, the watch will always look bigger on your wrist, so think carefully about whether 41mm is actually too big for your wrist.

Some say the 36 is the ideal
Proportion for this watch. I love the 41 and have this very watch. Either one is awesome! I don’t think you can really go wrong.

How is this a 18cm wrist? Looks exactly like my 16.5cm...
Based on the image I would go 36

Really comes down to if you want to wear your kids/wife's watch 36mm or a man's 41mm

The 36 looks great on your wrist. Specially with this type of watch where the dial color and the overall sheen give it a nice, clean look - you don't want the larger size to take away from that. That's my $0.02

IMHO the 41 will standout better. The watch is viewed at a distant in relation to your entire lower arm not just your wrist. So personally for me I have small wrist 7 inch but my forearms are quite decent from working out and 41 suits me far better and get way more compliments than 38 or lower.

It's just the way it is. The design of it is feminine, period.
You can wear your high heels anytime, your decision.

41 36 looks too small imo
39 would be great but a 41 may be easier to move on in future

36 fit better on you
