Rolex Datejust 36 Owner Review : Versatile, fascinating and elegant

A legendary watch. We don't need to introduce it anymore, the Rolex Datejust 36mm is THE historic model of the brand with the crown. Recognizable among 1000 thanks to its fluted bezel, its jubilee bracelet and its famous cyclops magnifying glass. The history of this watch begins in 1945 and continues to be written today. I think that the success of this model is linked to the fact that Rolex has been able to preserve the avant-garde spirit of the Datejust while adding a touch of modernity with ever more attractive innovations. What I like about my DJ 36mm is first of all its so-called classic watch look, which allows me to wear it every day and on all occasions. I am particularly a fan of the jubilee bracelet, really very comfortable and the "easy link" function offers the possibility of adjusting the watch in a few seconds, super practical especially in summer when the wrist swells because of the heat or humidity. For me, Datejust rhymes with fluted bezel. I find it so much classier than the simple bezel. Add to that the sunray dial which offers magnificent reflections depending on the light and you get the perfect mix between sophistication and elegance. Small note, many people wonder about the size and hesitate between 36mm and 41mm… I had both models in my possession (126334 and 126234, black dial for both). At first I found the 41mm ideal but after wearing it for 2 months, I decided to resell it because I found it too big for my wrist. The 36mm is much more elegant and proportionate for my wrist (about 17cm, I measure 1m87 for 88kg).
