Rolex Date discontinuation

[AnthonyMX]

Hey all,

Were Rolex Date's (35mm) discontinued around 2021? Did they come with jubilee or oyster bracelets? Also, was the oyster unpolished links or polished? I love the size of my Explorer and I'm looking for a Date, which is roughly the same size. I'm just trying to learn a little more about this particular model that has been discontinued. Thanks!

Rolex Date is 34mm. Rolex watches never came in 35mm. Rolex Date 115200 was discontinued in 2021. They were offered with PCL oyster bracelets. Try to find comparison videos between the Date and Explorer on the net to get a good idea of how similar or different they wear.

Actually the uncommon Air King Date was 35MM - randomly 1mm bigger than the Air King.

True. Which Airking reference came in 35mm? The 168622 Yacht Master actually came in 35mm case as well.

There was a 35mm yacht master in their lineup

Yep, Air-King-Date and Explorer Date. Both ref 5700 (and 5701 for the TT versions).

There’s three 6 digit Rolex Date models the smooth 115200, the fluted 115234 and the engine turned 115210. All with polished linked oysters.

The engine turned is unattractive to my eye and the smooth works best with the case which is bulbous and beautiful. Fantastic watch and would complement a 36mm Explorer nicely, worth trying on.

Sorry, I was replying to your later post and somehow deleted it by mistake. Not sure how that happened. Feel free to repost.

Yes, some say 34mm but mine were both 35 and if you Google 'rolex 5700 35mm' there's a lot of results.
