36mm wristshot thread !
The 34mm thread has such a great response, so I thought...
let's see the 36mm watches out there! Show your quintessential DJ's, Exps, OPs, etc!

Here's my 1016:

Not a Rolex, but it is a midsize watch (a rarity nowadays)

Ah, 36mm! Classic. Perfect size for dress watches. Datejust 16030, late '80s, with gray dial that changes dramatically in the light.

No the dial isn't peeling at all. Tropical fade but the tritium has discolored the dial around the markers! Note the radiating effect around each. Beautiful effect, although a uniform tropical would be ideal, ugh. Most dials like this have long been swapped out at service I'm sure lol.
