Chicolini's recent acquisition of a pre-owned Rolex Datejust 36mm, initially sold and then re-purchased, highlights a common dilemma among collectors regarding watch size and sentimental value. His post, featuring a striking blue dial reminiscent of Hawaiian waters, sparks a discussion on the enduring appeal of classic dimensions and Rolex's versatile design philosophy. This article explores Chicolini's personal journey with this timepiece and the community's insights into its timeless charm.

for sale as pre-owned. Then I saw it online and knew I’d regret selling it. Even though it’s 36mm I think it still works. Looking into that dial makes me think of lovely Hawaiian waters. The bonus is that I can swim with it! I went and pulled it back today and now it’s on my wrist. What’s that saying? “Absence makes the heart grow fonder?!” Yes, that’s the one.

Cool dial, and pulls on the heart so good to bring her back! I like the paneling, too. - Kevin

...have never seen that dial...very nice. It's a Rolex bonus that you can have a classy watch, wear it to the beach, scuba dive, then put on a tux and wear it to dinner. Not many brands can pull that off : )

I think it definitely looks not to small which has to do also with the combined look of case and oyster bracelet. Together with this fantastic blue dial. I stupidly sold my DD 36 many years ago because I also thought it was too small an my wrist. Best Thomas

When it still puts a smile on your face then keep it
