Rolex Datejust "126234" Mint Green Dial! Review and Ownership!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 20 дек 2024
- Welcome to my channel! I recently acquired a piece that I'v always wanted into my forever collection, the iconic Rolex Datejust reference 126234 in the mint green dial. I absolutely love the classic fluted bezel with the jubilee bracelet. When I saw the mint green dial released, it just spoke to me.
I hope you enjoy my review on it and my experience owning it!
This has to the best review of this watch on youtube. You managed to capture this watch in almost every single lighting condition and wearing poses. Great vid!!
I really appreciate the comment!
I agree!! I put my my name in list for this in November 2023.. we'll be my first Rolex whenever it comes...41
The love that you show the watch out in the real world environment, most reviewers don't do this, keep it up 🙌🏼
i just can't stop loving the jubilee bracelet from Rolex, it's iconic in its own way already.
The first Rolex I bought from an AD was the 2023 Datejust 41…Mint green dial, fluted bezel, with oyster bracelet
Nice!
I’m on the list for that exact configuration. Soon I’ll get it!
I've been waiting 5 months
@lifeisgreat1718 did you get yours?
Congrats man, I got the DJ41 Wimbledon dial with 2 tone Rolesor on Oyster bracelet and it pops man, love it! First ever Rolex!
Absolutely stunning! Ive been waiting for this exact config for 12 months... really hope i get the call soon! This video has made me even more impatient...
Hope so!
Same! @@WatchesAdmires
Rolex’s original sport watch. Timeless.
I own the same Ref just in blue. Have noticed out in about in a restaurant how the light makes this watch glitter and dance in the light. I was scared of the 36 with a 6.5 wrist and man this watch is my go to daily, with a precision fit. Looks larger than it’s actual size. Makes me appreciate smaller watches in this size. Love my forever Dj.
The fact the it glitters in the light is actually what makes me hate the jubilee. A true gentleman doesn’t bling.
@@AjejeB the glitter and dance I’m referring to is the fluted bezel not the jubilee bracelet. To each their own.
@@dennisthespeedmenace7530 sorry, I misread your comment. Indeed the fluted bazel really has a nice shine, but precisely bcs is so shiny I prefer to balance it with a plainer oyster bracelet, rather than doubling down on the shine with a blingy jubilee. It looks a bit too much to me, but I appreciate it’s the original datejust combo. Otherwise jubilee bracelet plus plain bazel can be an interesting option too, especially with a nice colour dial. It is so iconic in the original combo but I think as a daily wearer is too much.
@@AjejeB at first I did wear it a lot with the excitement of my new watch. Now I’m back to Bb58 gilt as my daily.
I got the same exact watch. Talked to the AD about it May 20th picked it up August 1st. Love it!
Nice!!
Great review of a stunning timepiece - thanks for sharing!
Stunning piece. I’ve requested the 36mm Wimby dial Jubilee fluted. The mint green and wimby dial are fantastic. Congrats on being patient and getting a watch that is timeless and will wear fantastically for decades to come
I was first wanting the wimbledon on jubilee and fluted too. But the mint green was just too beautiful so I went with that
Great review, with really nice photography. You captured the watch in various settings and loght whivh is extremely helpful for someone considering thenwatch, and also simply makes for a more enjoyable video. Well done.
Many thanks!
Tried this one yesterday, very nice dial. Goes from subtle green to darker forest green and depending on the angle sometimes even grey. Very subtle overall and stunning at the same time!
got my 39mm with the white dial on the 3-link "Bader" bracelet watch on MAMACOO 3 weeks ago and am loving it to pieces. Absolute fantastic watch that wears super comfortable on my 6.75 inch wrist. Chose the 3-link over the 5-link bracelet for the toolless quick adjustment. Way more comfortable than my Longines Hydroconquest 41 mm.
Beautiful configuration. Congratulations to you! Rolex Green is sweet! I have a 7.5” wrist and enjoy my 36mm vintage Datejust as much, maybe more than my 41mm.
I agree with you ... especially that it goes well with a short skirt
Very nice watch. 36mm looks absolutely phenomenal. I tried a 41mm and 36mm DJ at an Rolex AD, and to be honest, I really like the 36mm. 41mm was nice, but looked to bulky. I did not feel comfortable wearing it after sometime. I felt like someone kept a heavy object on my wrist. It is all about your comfort and not about what other people say. There maybe a difference in opinion, but I am giving you my honest feedback.
Very classy elegant Rolex Very much my choice, I have silver, blue, waiting on this one green. Don’t sleep on stainless steel Rolexes. Thanks for sharing, Great video.
I'm picking up the exact same on this Friday from my AD! Except in the 41mm. I've waited for 15 months and it'll be my first Rolex. Hopefully the next one is quicker.
I've been waiting 5 months now, I also am going mint 41, will be my first Rolex and I can't wait for "the call"
Very excited to get mine!!
I was leaning towards the domed bezel but now I’m not so sure. Love the watch!
Man, I cannot wait for the AD to ship my Mint Green.
Love the warm golden tone 😍 on the indoor footage
I want this exact watch. Speaking it into existence I will have it very quickly!
Stunning piece. Congratulations. Disappointing that you can’t walk into a Rolex boutique and walk out with the piece you want. I’ve added a JLC and Cartier to my collection in the past six months.
Just a really tastefully done watch. Looks great on your wrist. I’ve watched your video twice. Didn’t realize how nice that watch looks. Keep it,
Put it on your watch winder. But don’t sell it. I have the palm motif. Now I know what it looks like on someone else wrist.
I am waiting for that exact watch, but with the blue face. Thank you for sharing..
5:42 why the jubilee seems two tone in this shot? Makes it looks more stunning
The lighting in my living room lol
Love your channel with so many stellar watches! For me the AMZWATCH’ watch is my favorite. Keep the videos coming. Thanks.
Looks gorgeous especially outside, good job on going with the 36mm.
Thanks a lot!
I have a larger wrist so i have the 136334 - 41 mm variant . They are both lovely and very versatile no matter which size you choose. The green looks amaxing but I'm after a GO panomaticlunar in green so opted for the blue DJ.
I just wish we could see the movement. I love looking at the watch's heartbeat.
Congratulations. The green is beautiful. I’m waiting for a 41mm DJ black diamond dial. I should receive it within 2 months
It's an absolutely gorgeous watch, I picked up mine 3 days ago, same config with a black dial. May I know where you got that watch mat at 5:09 from?
I’m waiting on this exact watch from my AD, though 41mm. I tried on both 36 and 41, both look good on me, but ultimately, I decided that the 41mm would fit my body type better when I looked in a full sized mirror. I’m a bigger guy 6’0 270lbs. Maybe I’ll buy a 36mm one day, because I’ve always dreamed of owning a watch made the same year I was born. And we all know 36mm was the original size of the datejust.
Yeah a bigger build should definitely go for the 41mm. I'm a 6.5in wrist at 5'7 and 160lbs so the 36mm goes better with my build
Beautiful piece. The 36mm fits you very well.
Thank you for the comment!
I got the latest Sub date, but man what a beauty! want one in 41 mm.
I have this watch in 41, it's a different shade of green every time I look at it and on rainy days its slate gray. I am also on a waiting list for a root beer/pepsi(either band) at my local AD.
Hope you get that GMT! Love my rootbeer
Recently aquired a bright blue DJ36 in same configuration! It really is an amazing timepiece
Comparing the size to your GMT what can you say?
I did hope you compare them on your wrist. I own a DJ41 but thinking also about the 36.
It's certainly a noticeable difference in the size but 36mm-40mm is my sweet spot. I personally don't go larger than that
Great video. Thanks for all the wrist shots.
It's a beautiful watch, probably the only Rolex I like.
I have a Seamaster 300 M with 9mm of micro adjust total, and in the summer I find myself useong almost the full range, so not sure 5mm would cut it.
The jubilee bracelet is gorgeous though! Perhaps its wearability makes up for the narrower micro adjust range?
There’s also 3 drilled micro adjustments in the clasp with 2mm of length each hole. And that’s in addition to the 5mm extension so you’ll be good👍🏼. I also have the Seamaster 300m and the 36 dj
Wheee, congrats! I waited 3 months, got it in July. I love how the dial oftentimes looks grayish / charcoal, making it look dressier or more business conservative (for lack of a better word) but then you see that hint of green every now and then and it’s subtle but beautiful. If it were too green, perhaps it might be too playful for business attire, this does both though. I wear it with shorts too. Coincidentally I am waiting on a root beer and green sub too 🤞🏻
Appreciate the comment! Hope you get them!
@@WatchesAdmires thanks
3months is lucky. Congrats
@@kevindo3365 thanks, I’m really happy about it. Still waiting on a GMT and Sub though. The green Sub since it’s release. We shall see how lucky I am there.
Root beer, you Americans are so dumb 😂
I’ve been waiting 2 months so far for this in the 41, for my 7.1” wrist. So ref 126334 mint dial. I bought a Tudor and a bracelet from my AD but not sure if that’s enough spend. How long was the wait for the root beer and any spend history prior to that? Great watch
looking to get this piece now. After having collected a few other brands, i think dj is just the most wellrounded watch. Its tough like a sport watch, and dressy and casual enough for any setting.
I love dresswatch but i hate to get it wet when watching my hand and most of them are manual wind. Sportwatch is mostly too big and bulky for my liking.
Just how much i like it? I already got a two tone datejust from my late dad. But its bit too funny to wear twotone dj with shorts and sandal 😂
Good job with the review and that’s a stunning piece.
I appreciate the comment! Thank you!
I agree too! Great review and watch! Always thought I only wanted a sub, gmt or daytona but this is great too!
Been watching your videos for a while now and was inspired to start a collection. Started with the AMZWATCH, its specs for price and clean looks, now am looking for a dress watch to add.
Great review. Thanks for sharing. How do find the versatility of the mint green? Any limitations you’ve noticed with outfits/colors? Thanks
I've got the two tone yellow Wimbledon datejust already, but I think I'm gonna have to get this one next
I got this exact config a few months ago and waiting on the yellow gold two tone gmt. Did you ever get the call for the green sub?
That size fits you - I find 41 mm too sporty. Exceptional quality piece, and the combo is I guess one of the best. Not for me tho. I'm a vintage (1960s sports pieces) lover, so me it's more like scratches, patina, tritium and under the radar !
Over time I’ve realized the DJ is basically a perfect GADA watch. Unless you are a deep sea diver you don’t need anything else.
No chrono
My only concern is the lack of a rotating bezel. My only watch is an Omega Seamaster Professional, and I use the rotating bezel multiple times a day. It’s honestly a very useful and arguably underrated feature.
I agree, it’s timeless. It will fit whether you are young or old.
It’s a bit too loud/flashy to be a true GADA. Some occasions/places call for a more discrete watch.
Hi, can I ask where you got the leather board that you put watches on? Well presented watch, getting mine in 41mm for Christmas, waited 2 months
amazing video man. Which AD did you go to?
Great footage thank you for sharing. Great shame rolex ditched the railroad tracks from the dial, except for the roman numeral ones. I don't mind simplicity but this just makes the dial way way way too simple for my taste.
Wonderful looking Rolex - one that you won’t normally see in public. Yes, the boxes do suck. Rolex really should try harder than green plastic.
You are not wrong. When I acquired my Datejust I gave my Panerai to my partner. On my dressing table I have a green catheter container but he has a beautiful simply finished pear wood box finished inside with black felt
Looks unbelievable on your wrist. Wearing it perfectly. I’ve had my name down for over a year now for this. I’m well jealous but happy for you brother.
This post must have been good karma I got the call today I’m picking up exact same watch tomorrow 41mm. Can’t believe it 😁
Nice review and just subscribed. I’m waiting for the exact configuration except on a 41mm (I have a big wrist). 1 month and counting 😊
I'm in the same boat.... 5 months so far
@@jasonmagruder7008 i actually went to a different AD and on the same day they were able to allocate this for me! So much for a ‘waitlist’. Been enjoying my DJ for a little over a month now 😀
Looks great on you… congrats! I’ve had a request in on this config but dj31 for my better half for just under 2 years with an AD we’ve purchased multiple watches from including Rolex. Multiple check ins continue to yield 0 insight and/ or optimism that we’ll ever get one at msrp. Maybe I should request this 36 and she and I could share it :-).
Thank you! Yeah go for it!
nkuwan You are so well-informed about luxury watches. You've obviously done your due diligence and the comparison to the US is very informative...because of course, I live in New York. thank you very much
Excellent video of a stellar watch. Subscribed.
I’m on the list for the new Ti Yachmaster… I’ve been told it would be 8 mos.. we’ll see
Good work and fine photography. I like to see the watch out and about reacting with the play of light.
I have the blue jubilee Datejust on order (but who knows?). My AD came up with a Rolex two tone Explorer within a couple of months and I am delighted with it. Purists whine that steel tool watches should not be married with Gold - Really?! This old tool loves it!
Based ...on the strength of your review - I now think the mint green might have the edge.
Appreciate the comment and yeah totally go for the mint green! Glad the review helped :)
Beautiful...Did you have prior non-Rolex purchase history at the AD? I'm waiting for the exact same config, but in 41.
I did, the GMT Rootbeer
OK so roughly a year has passed since uploading this vid - how are you still liking the 36MM DJ? still getting alot of wrist time?
Where’d you get the red bracelet on your right wrist?
Is it true that datejust also have some micro adjustments inside the clasp? In addition to the on the fly adjustment to be clear 👍 !
It just has the small extension, not the glidelock. The glidelock are on the diver models such as the Submariner
@@WatchesAdmires Don’t you have different positions inside the clasp that you can move as well using a spring bar tool? Need to drop by the boutique and double-check but figured this was faster 😊👍.
Yup you can change the positions using the spring bar then you have the extension to get that perfect fit@@Aoelx
Beautiful! Apologies if I missed it but what is the size of your wrist?
6.58in wrist!
I recently obtained a datejust mint green and I’m not sure if the face isn’t as green as I was expecting or if the AD played me and didn’t give me mint green? The watch I have is a gorgeous time piece and I’m very happy with it, but it’s not quite that deep green I was expecting.
Is the mint green lighter than it appears on the website?
I also put my name down for this exact watch but was offered the Wimbledon instead. The DJ 36 wears much larger than my Explorer 1 36mm for some reason, but I love them both. The only downside? That soft, sparkly white gold bezel and legibility - nothing beats the Explorer on legibility, even when all three hands overlap, which I can't say the same for the DJ. The DJ is just more fun, but the Explorer 1 is simply perfection.
Love the simplicity and all-around on an explorer too!
Couldn't agree more. I have the same watches! The Explorer just feels perfect and can go anywhere with anything. The DJ mint green I save for matching or work attire.
I’m actually in the market looking for one. Hope I’ll find one
I’m sure you will!
What would be a good price range for this particular Rolex? Someone asked me for 14.5 - 15k. I wouldn’t pay anything more than 11k.
is this one hard to get? I just bought the 126200 -005 last week
I am waiting for the same watch!!!
can you describe how strong the sunray/sunburst dial is compared to static color dial? isn't black dial easier to see on a first glance when you are outside?
I haven't seen a more static color datejust in the flesh so I wouldn't be able to compare. But my friend has a black dial and loves it
WOW good. What's your wrist size? My wrist is 7 inches, and a 36mm watch feels a bit small?
How many links taken out?
Looks dope. Congrats
Truly a classic.
Damnnn 36mm look great .. my 41mm is to big for my 6.5 wrist
Same here, 41mm is abit too large for my wrist too. 36-39mm is my sweet spot and 40mm is as high as I’ll go
Stunner! Perfect size for you too! I’m jealous
I've been desperately trying to buy this configuration but for some reason Rolex Authorised Dealers won't put me on their waiting list. They say there's too many people on the list. I already own a Submariner 116610LN so the mint green datejust would be a perfect addition to my collection. Any tips to help me out?
I would just let them know you are seriously interested in adding a datejust to your collection and occasionally just remind them. Always be friendly, it'll come
@@WatchesAdmires yeah I tried that for the past 6 months without any results. Probably gonna end up paying 3k extra on the grey market.
Nice watch but I actually like your Root beef better.
Beautiful watch👍
Much appreciated!
Did you request your dayjust straight after you received the root bear?
I did, I let my sales person know a datejust was my next interest
Do you ever look down and think that it's on the smaller side?
Actually I prefer the smooth in This dial bracelet combo but very nice this
How much does it weigh?
I own this watch love it
My dream watch ❤️☺️
How much was it?
The retail price is $8950
Nice watch! What country do you live in. In my country, I can not buy evently datejust. I have to buy other brand first such as tudor then I can buy Rolex. 😢
just bought one at 16k usd. I just cant wait this, love it.
New friend here sending may full suppor AMZWATCH 's watch，Worth
Just had my name registered with the AD in their interest list last week for exactly the same item.. hopefully won’t be that long
Btw my wrist is 6 inches, would size 36 be good ?
Gorgeous 🎉
Absolutely 💯
mint is a perfect colour to look at on a 36 - means you're not looking at a dial of darkness or trying to find pins or hands. Also, I would say its somewhat refreshing. I am going to buy one soon
36 mm , I agree with you ... especially that it goes well with a short skirt
After almost a year of waiting, yesterday I received the email from the Rolex dealer warning me that my dateJust reference has been discontinued🤦😩😑😡😠🤬😤😒
waiting over 2 years now and i dont think i will ever get the call :(
How much
Bling bling bling🤩🤩🤩
Great video beautiful watch mint and root beer. Why did you pick 36 over 41 mint?? When you have 41 root beer thanks 😊
I'm genuinely impressed with how close MAMACOO were able to replicate every aspect of this very very goofy looking classic watch.
