Replica Rolex Datejust 36mm 126234 Jubilee Blue Dial

Bright blue up close

The ten photos run from the studio shot to macro shots of the dial and hands. The blue changes from bright to deep navy as the light moves; markers and hands are white-filled batons, and the date at 3 sits under the Cyclops lens. Photo 03 shows the engraved inner ring with ROLEX repeated around it. The black stone-set model in the same steel case is the black-dial version with stone markers.
