Ok, I'm a bit biased but the dial has a real nice base color and in direct sunlight the green pops.
I always liked the Wimbledon dials, but I don't really like the Datejust 41.

It's just a bit weird that it's somewhat hidden on the Rolex site and it wasn't mentioned at all in the Watches and Watches news?

Interesting- I always thought the Wimbledon dial was DJ41 only.

It's a beauty. I own the exact same config in 41mm and it's such a wonderful and versatile watch. Feels very sporty on oyster with smooth.

I always said ''if this ever goes into a 36mm watch then I have to get it''. It's so good looking.

In the last year I have visited several AD's and not every experience was like I expected.
But I found an AD that just felt right and right after "Watches and Wonders" I called them and asked if they could get me the "36 Wimbledon" and to my surpise they said "no problem, we're going to get you one" and a few weeks later I got "the call";-)

To make the story complete: I'm 51 years old and I sold my Datejust 20 years ago, when we needed a bigger house and money was tight.
And now after saving money for 2 years, I was finally able to drop the money for my "36 Wimbledon" and it makes me smile, every day.

That really is classic and striking. Perfect fit.

I think this combo will stand the test of time. I’m strongly considering the same one just with jubilee for a touch of flair.

Same here. For some reason the Roman numerals suit my eye better on the 36.

Sporty yet classy! Looks great, enjoy it in good health.

I have the sunburst silver champagne dial with fluted bezel in 36 and love it! So comfortable and love how it shines.

Agreed.

I think it looks even better in the TT version! (One of the rare TT watches I'd consider owning.)

Congrats on a beautiful watch. I just bought that same watch for my wife's birthday two days ago and she loved it. It looks really nice.
