Re: contemplations for a smaller watch now resolved and pics
And the winner is....
Rolex datejust 116200.
I love this particular dial combination but they seem to be fairly rare. When I stumbled upon this one by chance Yesterday that was that.
Opening that green box I was not disappointed. Even nicer in the flesh than the pictures. At 36mm it is a perfect size on my wrist and seems to wear just slighty larger than I remember my old Op36. I’m not sure if they share the same case or not.
Anyway a couple of quick snaps of mine and 1 from the dealer showing the nice filled lume numerals.
Thanks again for your thoughts and suggestions. I am one happy bunny

Re: contemplations for a smaller watch now resolved and pics
That’s an incredibly interesting dial! I’ve not seen that before. While I’m still undecided as to whether the dial appeals to my personal taste, I can definitely appreciate that it’s not your run-of-the-mill Rolex. And are the numbers filled with a different color lume? Very cool.
Congratulation on your new watch. Enjoy it!
...and maybe some more pics?

Re: contemplations for a smaller watch now resolved and pics
Fascinating! Not the one I was expecting at all.
It has rather a lot of something that I can only describe as CHUTZPAH! It’s different, and I like that.
Congratulations, Paul. It’s a great acquisition and I wish you many happy occasions of wearing it.

Re: contemplations for a smaller watch now resolved and pics
To be honest Steve it wasn’t the one I was expecting either! I have my name down for the blue op at two rolex ADs and was prepared for the long wait.Amor Vincit Omnia wrote: ↑Sat Sep 12, 2020 2:50 pm Fascinating! Not the one I was expecting at all.

This dial has always really appealed but is rare and was discontinued in 2018. Seeing a picture of one on the rolex forum prompted a quick t’internet search just in case By some chance there was one out there and surprisingly this revealed itself. An hour later I found myself considerably poorer but excited. Chuffed with it to be honest.
Cheers now, Paul

Never seen a datejust like that before. Looks fantastic.

Re: contemplations for a smaller watch now resolved and pics
Great acquisition Paul, not a model I had noticed before but has a great dial with that grid effect and the applied blue numerals.
Is this now the perfect 4 (I think) collection, do you think you'll settle with these ones, at least for the foreseeable?
