This page separates the exact listed version from other watches in the same collection. The reference, dimensions, movement and visible configuration below should be read together; a shared nickname is not enough to identify a product.

Reference and listed specification
| Model Reference | Ref. 126231 (Datejust 36 / Two-Tone Everose Gold / Slate Grey Fluted Motif Dial / Jubilee Bracelet) |
|---|---|
| Movement | DD3235 automatic movement |
| Case size | 36mm Diameter, ~11.7mm Thickness (The most original, pure “golden ratio” caliber of Rolex, hugging the wrist perfectly and sliding effortlessly under any bespoke shirt cuff). |
| Material | 904L Stainless Steel core, with the crown and bezel featuring accurate 18K Everose Gold vacuum plating (VSF has precisely formulated this warm, copper-infused gold tone exclusive to Rolex, entirely rejecting the cheap brassy feel of standard market plating). |

Dial, case and exterior details
The stated exterior combines The iconic Fluted Bezel (18K Everose Gold plated; the high-polish facets explode with diamond-like brilliance under any lighting condition).. The case specification uses 904L Stainless Steel core, with the crown and bezel featuring accurate 18K Everose Gold vacuum plating (VSF has precisely formulated this warm, copper-infused gold tone exclusive to Rolex, entirely rejecting the cheap brassy feel of standard market plating).. Inspect color and finishing under neutral light, since reflections and image processing can make polished surfaces, dial texture and metal tone appear different.
DD3235: functions and checks
DD3235 automatic movement is listed for this time-and-date configuration. Review crown positions, hand setting, date centering, calendar changeover and a timegrapher reading taken under a stated test condition.
Size and wrist fit
The listed diameter suggests a compact, traditional profile. Thickness, lug shape and the way the bracelet or strap leaves the case still determine the actual fit. The jubilee option also affects balance, flexibility and sizing.
Who should consider this configuration?
This is a practical time-and-date configuration. Compare dial markers, bezel treatment, calendar placement and bracelet or strap choice rather than selecting by color alone. The reference to match is 126231.
Compare this model with other Datejust 36mm configurations by reference, movement, size and exterior specification.
QC checklist for this reference
- Match the reference 126231 and the complete dial, bezel, case and bracelet or strap configuration to the order.
- Use straight-on, neutral-light images to inspect printing, applied markers, hand alignment, date or day centering where fitted and visible exterior condition.
- Demonstrate date adjustment and changeover; inspect dial-marker symmetry and bezel finishing.
- Check winding, time setting, clasp or buckle operation and an available timegrapher reading for DD3235.
Practical questions before ordering
Is this an original Rolex watch?
No. This is a VS Factory-made replica offered by an independent retailer. Brand and reference names identify the design and configuration being compared; they do not indicate authorization or manufacture by the original brand.
Will every production batch look identical?
No. Components and finishing can change between batches. Treat the current product specification and the QC photos or video supplied for the order as the final reference.
Does a stated depth rating confirm water resistance?
No. A separate pressure test is required before exposing any watch to water.
