New Rolex 36mm. Which one?

Of the new 36mm that Rolex has introduced lately, I really like these two.


Datejust 36mm olive green palm motif


Explorer 36mm 124270


What do you think?

None actually; 36mm is just too small for me. Too bad too because there are deals to be had at 36mm ... thinking DJ and DD.

Explorer (TT or SS), and I am so happy that the Wimbledon is now available in the 36mm. The 18K TT wimbledon in jubilee looks amazing

36mm Explorer for me. I would go for Grand Seiko if I want an interesting dial :)

I'd have to see the palm dial in person, but until then, it's the Explorer by a country mile for me.

Explorer, but the DJ in that green without the palm motif would be mighty tempting for me.

I'm not a fan of the green palm dial and for me the date is a "must have" so I'd choose a Datejust, just not that one. If you can live without the date, the Explorer is a winner.

It's weird being the same age as old people.

The Explorer is nice looking not a big fan of the Datejust but at 36mm they are both to small for me.
