Rolex Datejust 36 Stainless Steel Fluted Bezel Blue Roman Dial

How it wears

Wears true to its 36 mm case size

Rolex Datejust 36 Stainless Steel Fluted Bezel Blue Roman Dial measures 43.1 mm lug-to-lug on a 36 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.20 against a database median of 1.18. That span is shorter than 83% of the 8,054 watches in this database and shorter than 83% of the 52 Rolex watches listed.

A flat wrist width of 48 mm (1.89 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 58 mm (2.28 in) it starts to look compact. Below 43.1 mm (1.70 in) the lugs are likely to overhang the wrist. Flat wrist width is measured straight across the top of the wrist, not around it.
