An unexpected incoming... Datejust 36 126200 "Palm"
I'd said before that I was done buying Rolexes. In fact, the only thing I was waiting on for was a Day Date. In YG and green dial (yes, I like green). The call just never seems to come. I had mentioned to my SA that, after my daughter was born, I would be interested in getting a DJ36 with the new blue fluted dial, fluted bezel and jubilee bracelet. Also wouldn't mind an OP41/OP36 "Celebration". But a few days back, this arrived and he asked if I would be keen instead. Well, I thought it wasn't too bad. Smooth on oyster seemed correct as well. And, a fun Rolex is always nice to have. |

Perfect for hacking through the jungles with a machete! Not quite my taste but ecstatic that you're enjoying your new watch. Congratulations on it, I hope a green dial DD is in your future soon! Just keep trying!

Congratulations! I agree that for the palm dial, oyster and smooth bezel option is the way to go.

It is certainly very modern -- perhaps someday I would swap something out for a birth year Rolex. But for now, I already have a birth year timepiece |

Congratulations, that’s a great dial, it is very subtle in most light. Then when the sun hits it, tropical paradise! I hope you enjoy yours as much as I enjoy mine.

Thank you sir!

Thank you Padi! I was secretly looking forward to your comment -- since Palm is the actual name for the watch and not a nickname Quote:
Thank you! |

To be honest, I was unsure of the dial. I had never seen one before; only the fluted motifs at a Rolex preview in my local AD back in 2022 -- that's when I placed an order for one. As the story goes, that never arrived When I first saw the palm dial in person, it was honestly nicer than I imagined it would be. In average lighting, the dial looks pretty normal and you don't really see the palms. But in direct sunlight, it pops. |

It's an oddly polarizing watch. But I love it. One of the few other Rolexes I've considered other than my sub.
