Image Help Please - 36 DJ TT with Chocolate Face

Been a TRF lurker for sometime, sorry my first post is not overly exciting!

I'm looking to buy my daughter a 36 Datejust for a milestone birthday:
M126231-0025, its the two tone steel/everose jubilee with chocolate jubilee motif dial.

I can find lots of box shots, but really struggling to find a wrist shot in the wild on google.
Any help much appreciated.
I have been collecting & enjoying over past 15 years, so will try and contribute better from here!
Hi to all forum members from over here in the UK

You are in luck. Tried on this exact reference at my AD not long ago. It's a beauty

Thank you
Does the dial "pop" more under light/ daylight? Sometimes it looks a bit dark?

I didn't really pay a ton of attention to the dial (I was only trying it on because I wanted to see what the rose gold looked like on my wrist). The dial does have a sunburst effect that you can see in the picture below. I would say it has the right amount of pop. It would run the risk of looking gaudy if the ROLEX ROLEX ROLEX stood out more on the dial. It's a great looking piece, even more so for a woman IMO.

You're welcome. It's a beautiful watch. I'm sure your daughter will be thrilled with it. Congratulations

I wound up getting the 41 in RG with choc dial and really love it. The combination of everose gold with the chocolate just really works well.
