Today, we're taking a look at the Rolex Datejust 36, this one with a white gold fluted bezel, slate, Roman dial with the signature index hour mark at the nine o'clock position, with an Oyster bracelet. Reference number 126234. I'll be going over all of the aspects of this watch. The case, the bezel, the dial, the crown functions, as well as the movement and the bracelet. And I'll be giving you my thoughts on these throughout this video. So starting off with the case, it's in the name, Datejust 36 means 36 millimeters from finger to thumb. That's the two o'clock to eight o'clock position. And same as the 10 o'clock to four o'clock position, same diameter, same 36 millimeters. You have the monobloc middle case with the screw-down case back. And the Rolex winding crown to ensure water resistance down to a hundred meters, or 330 feet below sea level. You have a full high-polish construction here for the case, all high polished along the sides, as well as the front, as evident going all the way down to the very end of these tapered lugs. It makes for a very nice lustrous presentation. And made of Oystersteel, meaning that it is made of the highest grades of steel for the strength and durability. With the other minerals basically helping it maintain that super high polished look, all right? And sitting on the front of this case, you get the same presentation, but in white gold, with this fluted bezel, originally made with the intent of screwing directly onto the front of the case to ensure water resistance. Modern technology as well, sort of deem that not all that necessary anymore. So now they just keep it as a mark of distinction. And it's always in a sort of gold. In this case, white gold to match the overall presentation of the watch. And speaking of the presentation, you do have an excellent dial, very key dial within the Rolex catalog, basically. Originally, offered only on the 41 millimeter Datejust, now offered on the 36 millimeter Datejust in 2021. So this is one of the new models. You have what's colloquially known as the Wimbledon dial, often associated with Wimbledon, the sort of green outlines to these Roman numeral hour marks, sort of signifying that aspect. And as well, a very, sort of unorthodox, nine o'clock being the stick marker, or in other words, the index hour mark with the Chromalight feature added to it. So if I turn out the lights here, you can see the nine o'clock glowing quite brightly, clipping my highlights there, if I can get it focused. Okay, and with the hour and minute hands also illuminated. So it gives it a kind of interesting presence and presentation. Now, turning the lights back on. Typically for the 36 millimeter models, you'll have an interesting, like a more just index-based peripheral markings for the minutes, for the minute track. But here, you also have Arabic numerals for every five minutes, or five seconds, depending on how you look at it. But basically, it echoes the overall look of the Datejust 41 version of the Wimbledon dial. So basically, it's literally the same dial, just sized down to 36 millimeter case size. And taking a look here at the crown functions, just simply unwind it at three o'clock position. You can just wind the watch at the first position here as you can see. So if you're at a dead stop, about 20 to 30 full winds gets you to the full power reserve, rather simple there. Pulled out to the next position, you can advance the date forward by one, it's about a quarter turn to advance it by one each time, clicks nice and easy each time. And also, small on the dial, but nice and large under that Cyclops lens, which is part of the glare proofed, or rather scratch resistant, moreover, Sapphire crystal, sitting on the front of the case. So you have a good clear view of the dial at all times. Pull the crown out to the final position. Note that the seconds hand, if I can do so properly, note that the seconds hand does actually stop giving you that hacking function. So you can then basically, precisely set your minute hand, and by extension of course, the hour hand as well. Based on the position of that seconds hand, you can then align it just right with an atomic clock. Once it's synchronized, press it back in to start that seconds hand once more. And then, just screw it back, so I'm gonna screw the winding crown back in to the case to ensure the superior water resistance. So what makes all of this work is the 3235 in-house made movement from Rolex. You can't see it through the case back, but you do have that added sense of security from the solid steel. Basically, it gives you the plus, or minus, two second per day, time differential after casing, as is the Rolex standard, giving you the Superlative Chronometer certification as printed on this and every Rolex dial. You have the center hour, minute, and second hands with the instantaneous date with the rapid setting, and the stop seconds for precise time setting. All those features I had just demonstrated using the winding crown. And taking a look, you also have a Paramagnetic blue Parachrom hairspring with high-performance Paraflex shock absorbers for the oscillator. Meaning that basically, you can take this relatively close to magnetized surfaces, circuitry, and the like, and you can also take a few bumps here and there, and there won't be any sort of issues with the timekeeping ability of the movement on the inside. So basically, it will be keeping track of time just fine. You also have a bi-directional self-winding Perpetual rotor center mounted on the movement itself. Meaning, that basically, once you have this watch wound using the winding crown, just wear it on your wrist, and the natural movements of your wrist gets that perpetual rotor spinning about the center, which winds the mainspring barrel, which then supplies the power reserve, which goes up to about 70 hours. Meaning, that basically, from a full wind, you can set it down late Friday evening, pick it back up nice and early Monday morning the next week, no need to wind the watch, just simply wear it all day Monday, and it'll be back to the full power reserve, thanks to that perpetual winding rotor. While I'm zoomed out here, you can also see the Oyster bracelet, flat three piece links across, high-polish center links down the middle, with satin-brushed finished links on the outside, high-polish on their sides as you can see. General tapered down to the Oyster folding clasp, nice and elegant there with the Rolex raised logo, just the crown. But if you lift the latch to open it up, you have the Rolex stamped logo, the entire logo with a full steel construction. And the added benefit of the Oyster folding clasp here is that you have the Easylink five millimeter extension. So if your wrist, if you happen to have this watch sized perfectly to your wrist, you'll naturally feel the occasional swelling of the wrist, basically due to your hydration levels and the environment around you. So if you step outside when it's really hot, or you've found say three liters of water all at once, you will certainly feel it on the wrist. Although imperceptible, the watch will certainly feel a little bit tighter than usual. But you can just reach under here, pull it straight out. There you go. Another half Oyster link or basically another five millimeters of extension. So you can continue to wear your watch, no problem. And once you no longer need it, just simply fold it back in on itself, press it back into the clasp. And you're good to go. While I'm here, I can also try it on my wrist and give you my thoughts as to how it wears on a seven inch wrist. All right. And so if you know me from my videos on this channel, you'll already know that I love the 36 millimeter case sizes from Rolex. As you can see, I have a very good frame from the 12 o'clock and six o'clock sides of the watch with a full, nice, clear view of that dial. All the visual elements coming together very nicely, especially on this Wimbledon dial. You have the, even though the Roman numerals get a little bit big on the bottom, the extra space that you get, I think, from that nine o'clock index hour mark just sort of giving more space to the number eight, really helps open up the dial. Makes a very, very good and pleasing presentation overall. And certainly, with that signature look, second to none. Taking a look at it down the wrist here, very little space under the lugs, well, because it just fits me just right. If you have a wrist between six and a half to maybe like seven and a half inches, you can certainly wear this watch. Even the lower than six and a half inches, you can still wear it, no problem. With the Oyster bracelet, basically with Rolex's construction here with basically zero tolerance among the lengths for the entire lifetime of the watch. There's no fear of it potentially pinching your wrist, or pinching your skin, or pulling the hairs from your wrist, because there's plenty of space among these links to go. And basically, it vents the wrist as well, very nicely, as you continue to wear it. So you can basically wear it all day. So it looks very nice on the wrist, very easy to read the time as well. The green giving it just enough contrast there against the slate coloration of that dial, the sunburst dial or sunray dial as they call it. And especially in the lighter tones of that gray, makes it very, very easy to read, and quite nice and elegant in its own right. But enough of what I think. What do you guys think about this watch?
