Hi everyone 👋

I’m currently looking for a Datejust 36 (126234) with the Mint Green dial.

I’ve read that VSF is one of the best factory overall for DJ, but I’m wondering more specifically about the closest to gen configuration for 36mm DJ.

From what I understand reading several threads here, fluted bezels are sometimes poorly replicated, and the mint green dial is also quite tricky to get right 😥

So my question is:

  • What is commonly considered the most accurate and well-made Datejust 36 configuration? 🤔

I’m open to several 36mm configurations, but I’d prefer to go with something that is known to be the most accurate in terms of dial color and overall appearance.

Would really appreciate any feedback or experience you’ve had on this!

Thanks in advance

Yes, VSF is a major player for Rolex, Omega and Panerai reps!

Anything with a smooth bezel and no green dial? 😅😆
