We offer the lowest prices anywhere online and if you'd like to know the price, simply click on the links in the description below. We greatly appreciate if you purchase your next watch from us at JazTime.com. Today we'll be talking about the Rolex Wimbledon, the 41 millimeter in oyster steel and everose gold. What they call the everose rose, or the colloquial term, the rose gold two-tone, however you want to call it. It's the same thing. This one on an oyster steel or oyster style bracelet rather. Reference number 126331. We'll be going over the case, the dial, the bezel, crown functions, as well as the movement and the bracelet. I'll be giving my thoughts on all of these throughout this video. All right, so starting off with the case, we have a full oyster steel case, meaning that it is Rolex's own blend of steel and other minerals to create a very high polish while maintaining that extremely durable strength. We have a 41 millimeter size case from finger to thumb. That's the diameter from the two to eight position or the 10 to four, same distance, all right? We have the monoblock middle case with the screw down case back and the Rolex winding crown, also in rose gold, to ensure waterproofness, water resistance down to a hundred meters or 330 feet. Now sitting on, looking at the front of the case, we have a full high polish, as you can see on the front of these lugs here, as well as on the sides. A nice gentle bevel, it's hardly a bevel really. It's a very nice curve actually, feels very nice to the touch and just overall, incredibly smooth. And now sitting on the front of the case, we have the bezel, this is the everose bezel, everose being a mixture of gold and oyster steel and a few other minerals materials in order to create this high polished, this extremely high luster, rose gold that actually maintains its color, supposedly, to outlast any other rose gold because well, more other types of rose gold tend to have this sort of fading over time dynamic that just sort of happens. Whereas this, everose, will keep its color throughout its lifetime and its lifetime is incredibly long. All right, now, taking a look at the fluted nature of this bezel. This was originally made with the intent of screwing directly onto the front of the case to ensure that waterproofness, but modern advances over time have made that well, not really all that necessary. So it's kept there as a mark of distinction from Rolex, so that you'd know that you have a Rolex on your wrist and they always make it in some sort of precious metal, in this case everose gold. Looking at this dial now, this is what makes this watch special. It's what they call the Wimbledon. The green outlines on these Roman numerals sort of signifying the green grass of the Wimbledon fields during the tennis tournaments and the matching Rolex everose gold crown just really makes that pop a little bit differently than on the yellow gold or the white gold versions of this dial and watch. The nine o'clock index marker still there to counterbalance the date window. If it's there for any other reason, well let me know. I'd like to know down in the comments below. The minute and hour hands, same everose gold, along with that Lancet style seconds hand, all center mounted. All right and also keep in mind that there is a peripheral track for the minutes and seconds with Arabic numerals for every five increments. So it's really easy to set the watch and speaking of which, you can also do so quite easily using the winding crown. Simply unwind it at three o'clock position. This first position allows you to wind the watch, so if you're at a dead stop, about 10, about 20 to 30 full winds is all you need to get to the full power reserve. Nice and easy there. Pull the crown out to the next position, you can advance the date by one, it's about a quarter turn to advance the date. So pretty easy if you find yourself a time traveler, very easy to read underneath that Cyclops lens, which is mounted, not really mounted, it's literally a part of the sapphire crystal directly on this crystal, flare-proofed and scratch resistant, highly scratch resistant. I have yet to try to scratch one of these myself, and it's incredibly difficult, honestly. Now, if you find yourself on the 30th of the month and tomorrow is the first of the next month, just move it once and there you go. Wait for the hour hand to sweep past midnight and you're good to go. It will be on the first of the next month really soon. All right, pull the crown out to the final position. Note that the seconds hand doesn't actually stop there. So you do get that hacking seconds function, excuse me. So you can then set the minute hand precisely to wherever it needs to go based on the position of that seconds hand and where you are in your current time zone. Press the crown back in to ensure that superior water resistance after screwing it in tightly against the case, and it also starts up that seconds hand so you're good to go right there. So what allows all of this to work? It is the made in-house movement by Rolex, the 3235 caliber. You can't see it through the case back because you do have that added security of that solid steel case back. And you have that precision of plus or minus two second per day time differential as indicated by these superlative chronometer certification printed on every Rolex dial. This means that it will basically be keeping time better than any other time keeping device that you happen to have, well minus a quartz movement or a cell phone. Well, but that's neither here nor there. The functions allow for the center minute, hour, and seconds hands with the instantaneous state with rapid setting and the stop seconds for precise time setting, all of which I had just demonstrated. The oscillator on the inside has a paramagnetic Bleu Parachrom hairspring with high-performance Paraflex shock absorbers, what does that mean? That means you can get relatively close to magnets. You can take a few bumps here and there, and they'll be keeping track of time just fine. No need to worry about the timekeeping abilities of this watch. I know you get really close to magnets on a daily basis. I do too. That was sarcasm. Okay now the, the winder on the inside is a bi-directional, self winding, perpetual rotor, also center mounted. So all you need to do is just wind the watch using the winding crown once and wearing it on your wrist will keep it wound because the natural movements of your wrist will allow that rotor to rotate on the inside, thereby winding up the main spring so that you can then continue on with your day without ever having to take your watch off and wind it again. It has a total power reserve of about 70 hours, so that's about three entire days, just two hours shy of exactly three days. So what that means is that you can set this down on a Friday evening, pick it back up on Monday morning, ready to conduct business and it'll be keeping track of time just fine, no need to wind the watch. Right, now looking at this bracelet here, nicely framing the case we have the oyster style bracelet also everose gold down the center links, high polish with satin brush finished links on the outside, oyster steel high polish on the sides of these links, all right, and there's also a gentle taper down to the oyster folding clasp, also two-tone in its nature. Lift the top to open it, nice and easy. The inside shows the Rolex stamped logo, and you're also dealing with steel. Also something I'd like to point out on all of these oyster folding clasps is the Easylink five millimeter extension. I'm actually surprised a lot of people still don't know about this. So, say you have your watch sized nice and snug to your wrist, but then summer is coming up so you end up, let's say you pound two entire liters of water, you go for a walk outside, and it's a hundred degrees. Dear God, don't melt, but your wrist will probably swell in the heat and with your hydration, so all you need to do is just take your watch off, look underneath this clasp, and just pull the bracelet out directly and there you go, another half link of an oyster bracelet, or if you have the Jubilee, it's about an entire Jubilee link from that point. So, you don't want to keep it in this position and have your watch sized in this position. You'll want it sized at the smaller position so that if you happen to be in that position, literally, to you know, to require just a tiny bit of expansion of that bracelet, you can just do so very easily like so, and when you no longer need it, just simply fold it back in on itself, press it tightly back against the clasp, and it will snap in nice and easy. While we're here, I can actually try it on and also give you my thoughts as to how it wears on the wrist. Now keep in mind, my wrist is seven inches in circumference, or 18 centimeters, excuse me. There we go. So it's a little bit big for me with full links, but taking a look at it straight on, face on, very, very distinctive because of that, not a clock index, hour marker. It's very indicative of that Wimbledon style dial. This is the only dial by the way, the slate dial with the Roman numeral hour markers that has that one odd index marker out. So when people see this, they know it's a Wimbledon. All right, now looking at it face on when it comes to the readability, not incredibly easy to read. However, even in the dark, it is still recognizable and recognition is probably all you really need. The luminescence, the Chromalight display on the index hour marker at the nine o'clock, balancing out that well, non-glowing date aperture with the minute and hour hands glowing very distinctly, well shows you it is certainly a Wimbledon dial and this style is incredibly popular. I don't know why this specific model is not quite as popular as it should be, because I've sold a lot of the yellow gold or the white gold versions of this model, but not the everose gold, and rose gold tends to be more popular these days, at least as of the making of this video. It tends to fluctuate here and there, but generally more popular than yellow gold and white gold. So I don't know why this one doesn't really seem to see the circulation all that much, but that's neither here nor there. When it comes to fitting on a seven inch wrist, it's a little bit big for me because 41 inches is, well, honestly too big. I prefer 36 inch diameter watches and therefore the lug to lug span will be a little bit smaller and you get more framing of the bracelet, not so much here, but you know, to each their own. This one does provide you a little bit with, with a little bit more of that wrist presence when it comes to the size and obviously, it's distinction, the Wimbledon dial, of course. Now looking at it down the wrist, we have a quite a bit of space underneath these lugs. Again, this is a little bit big for me, so your mileage will certainly vary if you have a larger wrist or a smaller wrist, more space or less space under the lugs, depending on your wrist size. Now keep in mind that the lugs, even though they sort of protrude out a little bit, they don't go beyond the edge of my wrist. So, perfectly fine to wear this. It's not going to hit on any rogue door knobs or, you know, any desks that happen to be sitting out a little bit farther out than they usually do, so you'll be perfectly fine wearing this if you wear, say a 36 millimeter watch, or anything around that range. The extra space does give it a little bit more breathing for the links here, although the oyster style links tend to be more of a sporty type. Jubilee, a little bit more of a luxurious type, but still, luxury is all you really need here and you certainly get it with the oyster bracelet. No pinching, there's no tolerance on these links so it's not going to pinch the skin, not going to pull out any hairs, you'll be just fine. When it comes to the weight, incredibly light, although I won't say that it's the lightest case at 41 millimeters, you will put this on your wrist and you will know certainly that it is a Rolex because Rolex watches, they're not the lightest, but you know that you're getting your money's worth with Rolex. So enough of what I think, what do you guys think about this watch? It certainly slides very nicely under a suit cuff, so would you wear this to your next meeting or perhaps out at your next tennis match?
