36mm OP
As a former owner of a YM and DJ,I have decided to purchase the the 116000 Silver 3 6 9 dialed OP as my next Watch.This will take place soon and I am thrilled just thinking about having a Rolex on my wrist again.I am a Big Guy but I wear 36mm's well IMHO.Honestly,I can't afford much more but I can't wait to have the 116000 on my wrist will wear it proud.I don't know if I'll do the whole "strip tease"or not as the OP is not what the majority of this community is looking for.I will post Pics and Thx to Tom(tkerrmd)for your input on an AR thread.Should be a week or two away at the most(YES!).

Excellent choice, one of my very favorite models in the Rolex line. In fact, I had my DJ fitted with the Oyster bracelet from the OP, love the all brushed links.
I hope you enjoy this beautiful timepiece.

It's a great watch, with a great heritage. People often say that the DateJust and Air-King are the oldest names in the Rolex catalogue today (around since 1945), but it's really the Oyster Perpetual. It's been selling under that name since the early 1930s.

Nothing to be ashamed of. The OP is one of my favourite Rolexes, it is one of the few models that is still true to Rolexes past in terms of aesthetics.
