Icon20 Datejust 36 126234 in blue = stunning!

So ive finally taken the plunge and bought this little beauty. I am having trouble capturing just how amazing this blue dial is but here's a few pictures to give you some idea. Sometimes it is close to black, other times deep blue or light blue.

There doesnt seem to be too many reviews of the blue 2019 datejust around so once Ive had it for a while i will give you my thoughts.

Incidentally, I got this from Prestons in Leeds - I would highly recommend them and they went out of their way to source this watch in the colour i wanted. Great customer service as well.

No it’s 36mm - I’ve got 6.75 inch wrists and the 41mm looked a bit too much for my tastes

Congratulations. Love it.

I want this exact watch. Blue dial, fluted on jubilee, but I can’t decide between 36 and 41.

I have 7.25 inch wrists and the 36 fits great. It isn’t too small (imho).

I have a Sub and the 41 is pretty much the same size as it. It isn’t too big so I can definitely wear that too...

It might come down to which one becomes available first.

Lovely watch and looks great on you. Personally I wish they did the simple white dial with baton dial in the same size/configuration. Enjoy

I also tried the silver dial - definitely worth a look if you want a light coloured dial and it was a close second for me.

I really think the 36mm is perfect for pretty much anyone. I absolutely love the combination you picked (fluted, jubilee, blue dial) and think it looks at home on your wrist. Wear it in great health!

Can't agree more and fits well for my 6.75 inch wrist too. The thinner lug profile gives the watch a bigger feel and the blue is sexy.

Wasn’t a fan of the 116234 blue stick dial but the new one is just amazing. If I didn’t already have a dj36 I’d get it.

I've got the blue dial on the 126200 with oyster bracelet. The new 36mm DJ is one of my favorites. I liked it so well, I bought this one the next week, a 126234:



Oh, and my wrist is 7.5" or so. The watch is not too small on me, rather it's a classic size.

Congrats, I have exactly the same watch. This watch is perfect !

I am wondeing if the blue dial is the same on the others models like OP 36 (116000) or previous DJ 36 (116200/116234) or it's slightly different?
