"Size selection"
...just a fashion statement! You may think so, but in fact, choosing the right size is a very important point when it comes to luxury watches.
[There's a watch I want, but I'm not sure if it will suit my build.]
When buying a luxury watch, you definitely don't want to regret it. It's a natural feeling that everyone has. If you feel that the size is not right after purchasing it, you will not be able to wear it. It's the same with fashion. Clothes that don't fit are uncomfortable to wear and you will want to return them.
Of course, there's no problem if you can try on clothes in a physical store, but recently, with the rapid development of the Internet environment and the spread of the coronavirus, the services themselves and people's values themselves have become more diverse.
This time, we would like to introduce the efforts of Commit Ginza and recommended watches by size to ease your concerns that "it's hard to tell just from the listed size!"
Please be sure to watch until the end.

Does the size of the watch change the impression it gives?
There are people of all different builds in the world. From large people to slender people, there are as many different types.
Needless to say, wrist size varies depending on body type, so it's natural that a particular watch will look good on some people and not others.
For example, let's say a very slender person is wearing a 44mm watch, which is generally considered large. Most people would probably see it as unbalanced. *Of course. It's a different story if you're enjoying oversized watches.
On the other hand, when a larger person wears a 44mm watch, it gives off a very powerful impression, and I think most people would agree that it suits them.
In short, the same watch can give off a very different impression depending on the physique of the person wearing it.
Since we also do mail order sales, we receive many inquiries from customers regarding the "size". At that time, we also received many requests to show photos of the product being worn, so

We hope that this will give you an idea of how an average man would wear it.

5 Recommended Rolex Models by Size [ 31mm, 36mm, 39mm, 40mm, 42mm ]
① [ Size: 31mm ] Rolex Oyster Perpetual 31 SS "Ref. 277200"
The case size of 31mm is unisex and the small size makes it stylish.
The Oyster Perpetual is a direct descendant of the original Oyster, the world's first waterproof wristwatch, which has been the foundation of Rolex's reputation since 1926. This model was released in September 2020 with a new dial. It features a vibrant turquoise blue dial with a lacquer finish, and its fun design is appealing. Among the new dials, the turquoise blue is said to be the most popular.
②[ Size: 36mm ] Rolex Explorer SS "Ref.14270"
36mm case size is best for slender Japanese people
The Explorer Ref.14270 is a representative model of the ultimate simple watch. This model has all the highly rated features of a single buckle and all tritium. The case and bracelet are also in good condition and non-polished. Of course, this model goes well with any style, but the semi-vintage version with a burnt finish is recommended for a casual style. Personally, it has a strong image of 90s pop culture, which I think is due to the influence of the drama "Love Generation" starring Kimura Takuya.
③[ Size: 39mm ] Rolex Explorer SS "Ref.214270"
The case size is 39mm, which is not too large and provides excellent visibility.
The Explorer Ref. 214270 is a popular model with a simple design and high visibility. This is a model commonly known as a "blackout" with no luminous dial of 3.6.9, with exposed metal. This is a highly recommended model with a white tag, blackout, mirror buckle, and overall beautiful condition. The Explorer, which was mainly available in 36mm, has now been released in 39mm, which I think is a well-balanced size even for people with a relatively large build. In addition, the case diameter has returned to 36mm in the new model announcement this year (April 2021), so it will be discontinued and we can expect the value to increase in the future.
④[ Size: 40mm ] Rolex Daytona SS "Ref.116520"
The 40mm case size is a perfect fit for a sports model.
It is no exaggeration to say that the Daytona is the most popular Rolex.
This is the previous generation model that appeared in 2000, equipped with the fully in-house chronograph movement "Cal. 4130", and while inheriting the design of the previous model "Ref. 16520", the layout of the sub-dials has been changed due to the change in the movement, the indexes have been enlarged, and other details have been brushed up. For the chronograph model, the case size of 40mm is the best size in terms of the composition of the dial elements.
⑤[ Size: 42mm ] Rolex Explorer II SS "Ref.216570"
The size of a tough, masculine, practical watch is 42mm
The Explorer II Ref. 216570 features an innovative orange 24-hour hand reminiscent of the original Ref. 1655 model. Designed with an emphasis on durability and functionality, it is equipped with a date function and crown guard, and the orange 24-hour hand improves visibility. The 42mm case size gives a masculine and tough impression, and in addition to the date display, it also has a full range of functions such as a GMT function, making it an attractive piece with a sporty yet chic design.

summary
That's all, what do you think?
Choosing the right size is a very important point when buying a watch. First, try on the watch you like on your wrist! Then you can get a good image of it and you'll want it more and more (laughs).
Also, the impression of a watch changes not only with its case size, but also with its thickness. Even if the case size is good, the comfort of wearing it will be completely different depending on its thickness, so please take that into consideration as well. And once you know your own size, you will no longer have to worry about ordering online.
*Of course, to ensure that you can purchase your first luxury watch with peace of mind even through mail order, we also provide detailed online video customer service and telephone support, so please feel free to contact us if you are far away.
I hope this article helps you choose your favorite one.
