The 126200 in blue sunburst is the smooth bezel and Oyster bracelet version of the same dial. It is the most casual way to wear a Datejust. Same movement, same dial, but the smooth bezel and Oyster bracelet pull it firmly into sports watch territory.

The bezel and bracelet. This is the defining difference. The fluted bezel is gone, replaced by a smooth polished dome. The Jubilee is gone, replaced by the three-link Oyster. The result is a much more casual, sporty watch. The smooth bezel does not catch light the way the fluted one does, and the Oyster is sturdier and less shiny than the Jubilee. It is the configuration that makes the Datejust read as an everyday tool rather than a dress piece. It is the version you can wear with anything and never look overdressed.
The dial. Sunburst blue, same as the fluted version. Deep blue that brightens to azure in sunlight and settles to navy in shade. Baton markers with Chromalight for a blue glow at night. Date at 3 under the cyclops. The blue dial is the one piece of color on an otherwise understated watch, and it carries the whole thing.
The movement. DD3235, the same VSF 3235 clone. Genuine architecture, instant midnight date flip, real 72-hour reserve.
The steel. All 904L, case, bezel, and bracelet. No plating anywhere. The most durable config in the line.
The crystal. Sapphire with cyclops and the anti-reflective black hole treatment.
The takeaway. If the fluted bezel and Jubilee make the Datejust a dress watch, the smooth bezel and Oyster make it a daily beater that happens to say Datejust. The blue dial keeps it interesting. It is the "one watch" version of the Datejust. No shine, no flash, just a clean blue dial on a sturdy steel bracelet. If you want the Datejust movement and quality without any of the jewelry, this is the one.
