The 126234 green sunburst on fluted bezel and Jubilee. This is the green version of the classic 36mm Datejust. Green is the newest of the standard Datejust dial colors to gain traction, and it is the one people ask for when the black and blue feel too common.

The dial. Sunburst green. It explodes with color under direct light and reads almost black in low light. The green is the same family as Rolex's other green dials, deep and rich rather than bright. Baton markers with Chromalight, blue glow at night. Date at 3 under the cyclops. It is the dial that makes this config stand out from the black and blue versions, and it has become one of the most requested Datejust colors since green took off across the market.
The bezel and bracelet. Fluted steel bezel and the Jubilee. The fluted bezel catches light in a ring around the dial and the Jubilee's polished centers do the same. The green dial sits between them and the whole watch reflects consistently. The Jubilee is the dressier bracelet option and pairs naturally with the fluted bezel.
The movement. DD3235, the VSF 3235 clone. Genuine architecture, instant midnight date flip, real 72-hour reserve. The best 3235 clone on the market.
The steel. All 904L, case and bracelet. Fluted bezel polished to read as white gold.
The crystal. Sapphire with cyclops and the anti-reflective black hole treatment.
The takeaway. The green sunburst is the Datejust color of the moment. It has more character than the black and blue dials without being as loud as the palm motif. On the fluted bezel and Jubilee it reads classic but current. If you want a Datejust that is a step more interesting than the default but still goes with everything, the green is the safe way to get there. It is the config most likely to hold its appeal.
