You can buy it even below the domestic price!?Standard dress royal road

　This time, I would like to write about Datejust, which has become less close -up in recent years.

　Currently, there are four sizes in Datejust.The men's line is 41mm and 36mm.31mm in unisex.And the ladies are 28mm.The 36mm case Datejust 36, which will be a direct system following the first model born in 1945.And it is the 7th generation now.

　Renewed in 2018, the latest automatic winding movement, Cal.The 3235 was first installed from a yellow combination model.In 2009, it was installed in the combination type and stainless steel model with White Gold, so all the lineup was the latest lineup.

　This 36mm size has gained high support for a wide range of people, regardless of age, as a luxury item that can be reached if you do your best for some time.Therefore, it is probably expensive in terms of ownership.So why did you gain a lot of support?There are two possible reasons.

　The first is still a sense of security.Wristwatches that know the time, specializing in the original functions of the watch, in a sense, in a way, it looks simple and can be worn with peace of mind regardless of age.In addition, it is easy to understand because it is highly performance and hard to break, and you can also enjoy the superiority of owning a luxury brand.

　The second is abundant variations.Just like each person's lifestyle is different, as well as fashion, the scenes wearing watches are individual.In that regard, Datejust has multiple combinations, such as materials, dials, bezels, and bracelets, and have many options anyway.In other words, you can find the best one that matches your lifestyle.

　Currently, Rolex's official website allows you to combine parts such as materials and bezels to check the atmosphere with your favorite specifications, so if you are worried, try it once.

I compared the new and old Datejust on the actual machine

The right is the new REF.126200 and old REF on the left.116200.Even if you arrange it in this way, you can hardly understand the difference.

　This time, I borrowed the actual machine and the difference between the new and old models, and when I actually compared them, the bracelet reference REF.Because it has been changed from 72600 to 72800, the case and other cases may have been slightly improved, but honestly there was no clear difference.

　However, this is my personal opinion, but the new model felt that the lag and bezel felt slenderly, and the thickness did not change numerically, but the shape was sharp when viewed from the side.Just for reference because it is not official anyway.

　So the biggest difference is that the performance of a more high -spec movie is.Nevertheless, the new model is 655,000 yen and the old model is 630,000 yen compared to the price without tax, and the price difference is only 25,000 yen.What a conscientious.

　Well, how about parallel imports?The new new product price is that some stainless steel models barely fall below the list price from the late 600,000 yen range.However, it is important to note that combination models with gold may exceed the list price depending on the popular specifications.

　On the other hand, the old model first appeared in 2004.The production period is about 14 years, so the used price varies, but the core is about 450,000 to 550,000 yen for the stainless steel model.If you are thinking of purchasing an old model by using it, why not look for an individual manufactured after 11 years when Blue Paracrom and Beargen Mai was adopted as a move?

I actually wore a new model!

The case size of 36mm diameter may be the mainstream of over 40mm, but some people may still feel small and unsatisfactory, but when you wear it again, it looks good and tired.do not have

　I actually wore the new model, but my wrist may be thin, but the good size for the 36mm case is quite good.In recent years, a watch with over 40mm has become the mainstream even if you look at any watch brand.For this reason, 36mm will certainly feel small and unsatisfactory.

　However, when I actually wear it, it feels very smart with a good balance with the width of the wrist.And I don't get tired after all.Considering the practicality and usability in everyday life, I guess Datejust 36 is an attractive entity.

　First, one.I would like you to add it to one of the options as a everyday watch.

Oyster buckle revived to 5 gubilies

　If you want a more dressy atmosphere for the stainless steel model, we recommend the five jubilly breath type instead of the three Oyster breaths mentioned this time.

　From the new model, the specifications of the buckle of the 5 consecutive jubberths have changed, and the buckle part that was adopted up to the old model is not integrated, but the Oyster Buckle (photo (photo) used until the fifth generation before.) Is back.In other words, like the oyster breath type, the safety lock type has improved considerably.
