Just to follow up on this thread ... the new 126234 with blue dial is a very tough find at the moment. I know, because I've been looking at and calling many ADs and searching on the secondary market for about a month. This includes ADs where I have good relationships, not just random cold calls. They're especially tough with the fluted bezel on jubilee. Stunning-looking timepiece.

I never thought I'd see the day that a Rolex DJ wasn't easily obtainable.

Wrist presence is somewhat blingy yet understated. She is visually dressy yet can be casually sharp. Killer piece and Rolex nailed it with this one. Tried it on once in the shop and it was all over and had to bring her home. Here she is and still looks pretty sexy with toilette level lighting
Huge congrats, Fred, that's an absolutely amazing score. Just fantastically beautiful. Hope all is well, and that you thoroughly enjoy your new DJ!

Kind regards, -Rick.

Stunning combination. Reminds me of the blue SkyDweller but with a cleaner dial.
Wear in the best of health.

Not meaning to take over the thread OP, your watch is stunning. I would be very interested to hear from other 36mm DJ owners as to whether the 36 wears bigger than the size suggests. I really need to try one of these on, especially the blue dial. I have previously tried on a DJ41, but would have preferred for it to wear a tad smaller.

If the DJ36 wears like a 38mm then I am on it.

The new DJ's are definitely a looker. I didn't know the lugs were longer, I just thought they were thinner. I have a 116234 and it does wear a bit larger due to the thicker lugs but I wouldn't say it wears like a 40. Maybe a 38?

Looks great! I like the 36mm DJ size too, I can dress it up or down, jeans or suit it goes with anything
