wouldn’t choose it over the presidential bracelet and fluted bezel but would definitely wear it!

Lovely.

I think the smooth bezel goes well with the dial and indices.
Wear it in good health.

Always loved the oyster/smooth on a gold watch. makes the dressy more casual.
Great look!

Very nice, looks great. Different from the normal fluted bezel and president bracelet. I like the look, slightly less flash. That dial is awesome.

I would wear that in a heartbeat. A bit like DD does tool watch ha.

I would wear it every day. Although, legibility would be a concern to me. Maybe just the light, but not the easiest dial to read.

I like that look better than a fluted and president bracelet.

I’d wear that in a heartbeat.

I have a similar looking watch (36mm Datejust) in SS with a silver stick dial.

As someone mentioned - I wouldn't take it without the President bracelet. But with the one it would be perfect. The blue dial and yellowish window background for day and date really complement the look.

OP,

3 questions for you:

Isn’t your 116200 a 36mm Datejust?
Wouldn’t this absolutely gorgeous DD36 be a great new addition to your watch collection??
Is 36mm really the issue or is it the oyster bracelet instead of Presidential bracelet??

love the look at 40mm .. 36mm small for my tastes in modern times, and i have a tiny wrist. that being said, i would adore it on someone's wrist, just not my own. I can totally respect that people love this one!

it is beautiful!

Rather rare thus interesting ... I believe it makes it unique and valuable ... I have 36 DJ TT and with 6,6 inch wrist I can accommodate 36-40 mm cases ... smaller diameter makes the bracelet pop up more ... enjoy the piece
