I really like the fit and domed bezel on the OP and DJ 36. Since most/nearly all OP models with interesting dials seem to be unavailable, I am considering a hunt for the Wimbledon or Palm dial DJ36. I will go to my AD who has helped me in the past but not sure what they will be able to do these days.

What’s the availability like? I have seen the Palm dial trading at a big premium but don’t see as many offered as other Rolex models, same with the Wimbledon dial.

Also, any thoughts from owners of either? I live in FL and the palm appeals to me as a tropical style and I also like that it is a mix of sunburst and matte. I love the black/green markers on the Wimbledon.

Thank you!

Just my n of 1 but I suspect the Wimbledon easier to come by. Have been offered it twice by two different ADs. Palm dial seems rare, even just watching all the incomings here.

I got the Wimbledon dial 36mm in 2 tone in about 5-6 weeks. The palms I was told would take much longer.

I got a palm dial DJ36 TT for my wife. It took every bit of six months to allocate. It’s very unique, blingy, and she loves it.

I love the Wimbledon dial. I picked up a 36mm one (oyster bracelet and fluted bezel). It was stunning.....My only problem was I had a hard time reading the time. The rhodium dial was really dark in low light. I ended up selling it pretty quickly because I like to be able tell the time at a quick glance.

I’m interested in one of these.

I’m not a fan of Romans so the Wimbledon does nothing for me. The Palm dial is very cool but my choice in the 36 would be the blue fluted motif dial.

Wimbledon is my favorite dial.

Palm dial all day over the Wimbledon dial.
