This looks great!

I'm in the market for a Pepsi or Batman on a jubilee, but this is easily third on my list of what to buy next. Possibly a little bit easier to get, too.

TruthBalance · 29 September 2019, 10:13 PM

That it is, congrats!

kegan · 30 September 2019, 01:36 AM

Very nice!

tng11 · 30 September 2019, 02:06 AM

Love it. One of the most perfect DJs there is in existence IMO. There's something wonderful about the classic proportions of the DJ36 and the clean dial of the 126234 vs. the 116234 or DJ41 blue dial. DJ41s proportions always seemed a bit off to me.

I'm still patiently waiting for mine in the exact same configuration. Been about 2 months of waiting already!

amh · 30 September 2019, 07:56 AM

Want to get one for my wife but haven't seen it anywhere. Supposedly it's "rare" (but then again, a lot of models are

)

djgallo · 30 September 2019, 08:01 AM

Nice watch....a Timeless design!!!

kwcsports · 30 September 2019, 09:32 AM

Very nice. Love that dial

AJM914 · 30 September 2019, 10:47 AM

Congrats!

RomBomb · 30 September 2019, 11:39 AM

Congratulations on the purchase! I tried the same watch with the smooth bezel and oyster bracelet a few weeks ago at my AD and it fit well on my 6.5 in wrists. Really had to resist the urge to buy it since I'm already on the wait list for a 114060.

BlueNote · 30 September 2019, 12:16 PM

Good move getting a classic with the fluted bezel on a jubilee. It’s perfect. I also have a 36mm DJ with a blue dial but I got one with a smooth bezel on an oyster. It’s a great watch but I wish I had gotten the combo you did. Great decision on your part. Well done.

D Hughes · 30 September 2019, 11:05 PM

So beautiful! The day Rolex releases a modern matte blue dial DJ is the day I sell my kidneys for sure haha

doramas · 1 October 2019, 02:26 AM

All-purpose watch. I think it's very nice. Congratulations

I'd be shocked if they didn't introduce a white dial option at Baselworld in the next few years. The original 6-digit Datejust models were produced for like 15 years and various dials came and went over that time. And you can get the 41mm DJ with a white baton dial.

I'd also be interested to hear if anyone has observed a difference in the blue dials. I thought I read a comment somewhere where someone said the DJ41 blue was nicer than the blue on the older Datejust models. However, to me they look more or less the same in pictures.

This is kind of counter-intuitive. Is it that the slimmer case makes the dial seem (relatively) larger? I actually think the batons on the new dials look larger and because of that they make the dial look a little smaller than the 116234/116200 dials.

FireballXL5 · 1 October 2019, 04:07 AM

It fits you well and I love the blue.

swish77 · 1 October 2019, 04:13 AM

The new 126234 DJ is fabulous, especially in blue. The 36mm size definitely looks bigger on the wrist with its subtle case and dial re-design, as Fred notes above. I'm mostly a vintage Rolex lover, but this version is classic and timeless, with an old-school feel.

Took me a while to find this one. I think the blue-dial versions are scarce, or at least don't stay long in AD cases.

boothus · 1 October 2019, 06:39 AM

Beautiful watch. Excellent choice. Definitely would make a serious contender for my 2nd purchase!

Calatrava r · 1 October 2019, 07:23 AM

The 36 DJ is perfect on most people. I think the trend of larger watches is fading. Hope Rolex catches on and offers more non-jeweled dials in the 36mm size for the DJ and the DD.

soflonative · 1 October 2019, 08:45 AM

I think the blue dial looks better in person than in a picture! It’s a stunning watch that has classic looks! I have the same watch but with a white dial and have been thinking on changing to the blue dial!

Congrats !!!!

uniqueMR · 1 October 2019, 08:47 AM

Goodwill63 · 2 October 2019, 09:41 AM

Could possible be the most perfect watch ever.

173rdabn · 2 October 2019, 09:45 AM

Really nice. I had an earlier version of the same watch (1977 purchase) for about 30 years. Loved it.

replicator · 2 October 2019, 10:28 AM

It’s a great watch. Best looking Datejust IMHO.

+1. The guys here are spot on.

I love the DJ in 36. It's the only Rolex watch I'd wear in that size.

skyblue12 · 2 November 2019, 01:07 AM

I've just bought this little beauty from Goldsmiths. I'm very happy with it.

You're so right about it being comfortable, I had a Dj41 which wasn't as comfortable.
