If you'd like to know the price, simply click on the links in the description below. We'll greatly appreciate if you purchase your next watch from us at Jaztime.com. Today, we'll be going over what is known as the Wimbledon, by Rolex, the Datejust 41 in Oystersteel, a smooth, domed bezel with the Wimbledon-style dial. All right, with a Jubilee style bracelet, reference number 126300. We'll be going over the case, the dial, the bezel, as all as the crown functions, the movement itself, as well as the bracelet. And I'll be giving you my thoughts as to how it wears at the end of the video. All right, so here we have the Datejust 41, 41 millimeters from finger to thumb. It measures about 47 millimeters in height, lug to lug. All right, and it has the profile of just under 13 millimeters in thickness. So it slides very easily under a suit cuff. It has the Monobloc metal case with the screw-down case pack and Rolex winding crown to ensure water resistance down to a 100 meters or 330 feet. The bezel on here is the smooth-style bezel, domed for a very consistent and cohesive overall look. Actually gives a steel a very good sense of radiance in just about any lighting situation. All right, now looking closer at that dial. We have a Slate-colored dial, green outlined with very dark green valued Roman numerals. Okay. Often referred to as the Wimbledon, or is known as the stick marker or index marker for the nine o'clock to very nicely balanced out the three o'clock date aperture underneath the Cyclops lens. As you can see, built directly into the Sapphire crystal on the front for ease of reading and for scratch resistance. Now, taking a look at this dial again. Again, we have this Slate color and it's called the Wimbledon. Many people assume it is because of the reference to Rolex's support, their official timekeeping history with the Wimbledon Championships. So you have the green grassy fields of Wimbledon being referenced within these green Roman numerals. But you know, it's honestly anyone's guess as to why it's really called the Wimbledon. However, the way that Rolex have marketed it is that they display this watch in the two-tone version with the yellow gold bezel and yellow gold Oyster-style bracelet with the outer steel links for the overall marketing of this launch. However, this is still the same dial and you can get this same dial within just about any different type of configuration. But anyway, no one really knows as to why Rolex have designed it in this fashion. With the Roman numeral hour marks with the single index marker for the nine o'clock. Now I suspect, it is because it is a perfect balance. Because here we have the Rolex crown at the top to hold that anchor at the 12 o'clock. But we also have a date aperture at the three o'clock and to have it balanced out by the index marker at the nine o'clock just seems to make sense. At least within the design standpoint. And overall it gives a very unique look that is certainly a conversation starter for those who are not quite well-versed in their Rolex dials. Now, taking a look at the function for this watch, work as you would expect with any other day, just simply unwind the crown to the first position. This allows you to wind the watch rather easily. Just about 20 to 30 full lines is all you need to get it to a full charge from a dead stop. And once you start feeling that damping starting to ramp up and the rotation, you can then stop because you've reached pretty much the full power reserve. Right? Pull out the crown to the next position. You can then adjust the date by rotating it clockwise. It's about a quarter turn to advance the date by one. So if you find yourself toward the end of the month. Say you're on the 30th and tomorrow would be say the first, well you can just simply rotate it halfway, directly to the first, no additional faffing around. Right, pulling out the crown to the final position, stops that seconds hand, or gives it that hacking function. So you can then adjust the minute hand precisely as you need to adjust the time properly. All right. Press the crown all the way back in, screw it tightly against that case to ensure that 100 meter or 330 foot water resistance below sea level. All right, so what makes all of this work? It is the Calibre 3235, you can't see it through the case back, but it's made in-house by Rolex, the movement. It is a plus or minus two second per day time differential giving it that Superlative Chronometer statement on the front Its credibility. And it has the center hour, minute, and seconds hands with the instantaneous date with rapid setting and stop seconds for precise time setting. All of that I have just demonstrated for you just now. The oscillator is a Paramagnetic, blue Parachrom hairspring and high-performance Paraflex shock absorbers. Meaning that you can get relatively close to magnets, You can, you know, take a few bumps, hits here and there, and it will be keeping time just fine. All of this together, gives it an approximate 70-hour power reserve. Impressive for a timekeeper like this, a 41 millimeter watch. Now taking a look at the bracelet, the overall framing here. Let me zoom out a bit. Here we have the Jubilee-style bracelet, five-piece links all the way across, the middle three being high-polish in steel on this version, with a brush finished outer link set, also in Oystersteel with a high-polish on the sides there as well. Leaning down tapering, very gently to the Oyster folding clasp. It opens rather easily, just lift the top and there you go. Very easy, with the Rolex stamp on the insight. And we also have a five millimeter comfort extension. Now I had it open for a bit, here it is closed. Now, your wrist has a tendency to swell during the day, depending on your hydration levels and the heat. So if you need those extra, you know, five millimeters, you can simply take the clasp, open it up to this position, and all you need to do is just pull it out. There you go, an extra five millimeters of distance there. Which actually equates to about an entire link's difference, as you can see. So, there's no need to add or remove any links. If you happen to have this sized perfectly to your wrist for a very snug fit, there's no issue there. All you need to do is just simply add or remove those extra five millimeters of extension. All right. Very easy. Okay. Now, while I'm here, I can actually try the watch and give you my thoughts as to how it wears on the wrist. Now, granted, this is a 41, so it's kind of large for me. I prefer personally to have a 36 millimeter, but the Wimbledon is only available on the 41-millimeter style dial. And rightfully so, it's very large. And with those Roman numerals, you really need the spacing for the higher numbers. Such as the four and the eight, but no issue there as the stick marker or the index for the nine very nicely frees up a bit of space for all those numbers on the left side of the dial. As the comfort, very comfortable. The Jubilee-style bracelet, you can't go wrong with this because there's plenty of breathability among all of these links here. All right. So there's no way that you'll be sweating when you have this on. You can wear it all day, all week, maybe to sleep if you wanted to. All right, now keep in mind that this is a 41 millimeter. So it's a 47 millimeter span from lug to lug. So I'm getting quite a bit of overhang here, with the lugs not really tapering downward, but more outward, seemingly. This gives a little bit more breathing. I have no issue with that, especially with a dial like this one. So recognizable as well. This Wimbledon-style dial on a Rolex Datejust 41.
