What do you think of this Rolex?
This is my grandfather's Rolex Datejust 36, 116231. What do you guys think of it? Is it classy or too blingy/vulgar?

It would never be my choice of watch and it looks like he is not wearing it because the stickers are still on.

My mother has the same watch but with a silver dial. It's a great looking watch on her but not one I could pull off with the diamond dial.

Never really been a fan of two tone but that is very smart.

Nice watch. Not for everybody, but that's why they make so many models.

I'd wear it if it was yellow gold. This configuration looks a bit feminine to me.

It Is a classic, a co worker has a similar modern one, and it is great looking watch.

No,

Its a fantastic classic. No Diamond dials for me personally, but it will never look outdated. Absolutely solid and timeless classic.

Very nice watch. I like the Oyster bracelet better than Jubilee for sure. Looks more manly for me! The dial color complements the bezel and center links nicely. Definitely slick!!

Not my first pick, but if it were my grandfathers I would keep it and enjoy it.

The diamonds ruin it for me. If not for that it's a classic.

Very nice. I personally feel DJ look best on a jubilee bracelet.

When I hear "grandfather's watch" I picture a vintage with patina, not stickers still on
