Can I put a fluted bezel/jub bracelet on this watch?

Is your preference a fluted bezel and jubilee bracelet?

Yes, but this is the ONLY version of the dial I can find!!!! So I was thinking to change the bezel and bracelet on this, if the bezel comes off. Im sure GMF will be able to put a jubilee bracelet but I don't know if the bezel comes off this watch?

Yep the bezel comes off this watch very easily. :) You could just show your Trusted Dealer a pic of the watch but tell them you'd like two changes. Fluted bezel and jubilee bracelet. And see if they'll supply it with the correct parts.

One thing about your dial. I was trying to find a picture to help, so that you don't have to explain anything to the TD. For ease. And realised. Is it a fantasy colour dial that you've chose. I mean I don't think it exists in 36mm size in real Rolex does it. Light silver does exist. Not a grey right?

Not sure if its fantasy or not! I wouldn't mind light silver either, but Ive looked on all the trusted dealer pages and this is the only one without those black circles between the diamond markers and the reheat that go around the dial. Call me crazy but they bug me!

Don't worry that it says Jtime on my link. Any TD can get any watch available with a nice clear picture

Naw, it's not crazy at all to not enjoy those black lines and things. Clutter aren't they I guess.
I don't know if MOP (mother of pearl) dials are something you like or not too, but this one for example doesn't have the black lines. It shines insane amounts in the light. https://jtime.io/us/datejust-36mm-1...-diamond-dial-on-jubilee-bracelet-vr3235.html https://www.reddit.com/r/RepTime/comments/16gxzdj
I'll try and find a silver without black bits on it.

Thanks for your help! I was originally liking the MOP but for me it seems a tad bit more for the ladies haha! So my other option was to actually get the MOP 36mm from CF and hunt down a Gen Silver Diamond Marker Bezel, but that would take a lot of luck and timing to come across one!

The only other one I found that was silver without the black lines was from BPF, made in 2017 and now out of stock, as I asked Andrew to check for me!! It was only listed on Hont and Andrews websites, nobody else's. Probably because its not being made anymore. Im guessing its because back then Rolex made the exact dial im looking for. And now the new ones have the black circle lines. Or maybe Im just really unlucky and CF/GMF/VSF aren't making silver diamond marker without those black circles!!!!

Yes you're right. I think the dial with diamonds set and no lines you'd like is emulating a good old fashioned 116234 but I might be wrong.

The gen dial swap idea would be problematic. The back of the gen 116234 diamond dial has two feet (little pegs) that go into the 3135 movement to secure it. The modern watch has a -different- 3235 movement that requires removal of those feet (devaluing the watch) and sticking onto the movement with sticky doublesided dial dots because the more modern 3235 movement requires the back of each dial to be friction fit (a different kind of shape). Or ...... oh man .... haha.... :) I hope you find something beautiful soon. I love Clean way more than GMF btw personally, if you want something to look close to gen.

I was told if I found a 126234 dial it would go in fine in a CF watch, now I don't know what to think haha!

@lgeezy2023 A 126234 dial fits perfectly in a CF watch with it's 3235 movement. Spot on.
(I was talking about an older 116234 previously.)
