Replica Rolex Datejust 36 mm Chocolate Dial 126231

Fluting changes the look

Next to the smooth-bezel 126201 on a Jubilee, two things change: the bezel here is fluted, so it throws more light and makes the case look a little larger, and the bracelet is the three-row Oyster. The chocolate dial with its rose-tone markers and the date under the Cyclops lens are the same.

Oyster or Jubilee

This is the Oyster bracelet version; there is also the 126231 chocolate on a Jubilee. Both share the same case and dial. The Oyster is the more practical choice for daily wear, the Jubilee the softer one. Photo 03 shows the watch in a box, which is not included; the wooden box is sold separately.
