Classic is still classis

After 20 years and about the same number of Rolex watches later, still like the look of this one.

When I was younger, this in the gold dial was "THE ROLEX." I know very 80s. But still after all these years, still love the style.

Other brands have new models and limited editions, but for me the classic Rolex is just right.

Love the hidden jubilee bracelet, so classy.

Classic styling never goes out of style.

That's why they call it classic.

Love it! Wish Rolex had continued the silver stick dial into the 126233 model range.

Yup 36. I don't think they ever did the hidden jubilee on the larger datejusts.

Liking the hidden clasp, didn't realise they did them for the DJ. Looks great.

Mine is from 76, from what i have seen in regards serial numbers. Classic design.

One of the most classic Rolex's. I still think it looks better on a more mature individual, but classic nonetheless.
