Please show me your 126234 wrist shots
Thinking about pulling the trigger on a new 126234 with black dial, diamond markers. All of my other Rolex watches are sport models so this seems a natural compliment to the collection. Would love to see pictures in the wild and/or hear of your experiences. My wrist is 6.75 and I’m wanting to add a classic 36 to my collection. My only other 36 is a 14270.

Thank you!

Here’s my 126231…
6.5 inch wrist

It’s the most comfortable watch I own (in addition to my Explorer 36 124270)

Only other thought is that these watches are very “blingy”

My wife doesn’t want me to wear my Wimbledon Datejust above when I got out with her and friends bc it’s so sparkly and gets a lot of attention. She tells me to wear my Explorer and stay below the radar. I think that’s a personality thing tho.

The WG fluted bezel and diamonds will have a lot of eyes looking at it ! Esp in the light !

I actually think what draws the attention is not the fluted bezel, rather it's the two tone. I sold a tt dj for that reason.
My ss dj36 with fluted bezel and even diamonds on 6/9 never draws any comments, neither do I feel it's blingy

i had the previous gen of the watch you're after (116234). it's very hard to photograph because of the diamonds and sunburst dial but in person it looks great. definitely one you need to see in person to appreciate

Thank you all for posting these wonderful pictures! I am enjoying seeing how the watch can be dressed up or down - even the diamond marker version which, hopefully, my AD set aside for me.

A few shots of my Mint dial 126234.

Black, Blue or Green they are all beautiful.

Thank you all for the feedback.

Bumping this post to see if anyone else can share wrist shots/experience with the black dial, diamond marker 126234.

That said, I’d like to see any 1262XX wrist shots.


Thank you!!

I’ll just add to my own post, for anyone interested… I purchased this for business attire but am thinking it looks pretty slick even with jeans. But I’m probably biased.

Very happy with this shiny watch!!

Please share your 126234 (or similar) photos. I enjoy seeing them.

Beautiful! Looks just like mine except I have the white dial.
