PRE-OWNED ROLEX DATEJUST 126300 DATEJUST 41 WATCHES
Production Years:
The Rolex Datejust 126300 is one of the latest Datejust 41 range models that uses the traditional Datejust concept in a case of 41 mm Oystersteel with no bezel design at all. The watch model appeared when the transition between generations of Datejust II was taking place and is still available in the Rolex collection.
In spite of the relatively large size of the 126300, the origin of the watch is obvious due to its pure Datejust identity. It was first introduced by Rolex in 1945 and the iconic date aperture at 3 o'clock became its most important element from then on.
The 126300 brings that tradition to modern mechanical timepieces with Calibre 3235 movement, a 70 hour power reserve and the current Rolex case construction.
Defining Features
Oystersteel is also used in the entire 126300 model range from the 41 mm case to the bracelet. Rolex incorporates this metal into its steel watch cases due to its corrosion resistance and the ability to preserve its superior quality. The combination of the smooth bezel makes the reference look like a classic white metal watch without any contrasting precious metals seen on the White Rolesor Datejust watches.
Calibre 3235 is the movement used in this case. It is an automatic movement which has a 70 hours power reserve and employs the bidirectional Perpetual rotor. According to Rolex, the chronometer certified watch gains or loses no more than 2/+2 seconds per day after casing.
Date changing instantly and can be adjusted quickly, and the magnifying Cyclops lens above the date window at 3 o'clock allows better visibility of the date. Scratch resistant sapphire crystal is employed to protect the dial from scratches and Twinlock screw down crown contributes to Rolex claimed water resistance of 100 metres.
Bracelet choice changes the appearance of the 126300 considerably. Rolex offers the reference with the three piece Oyster bracelet as well as the five piece Jubilee bracelet, allowing the same steel Datejust to take on a slightly different character depending on its configuration. Both are paired with an Oysterclasp and Easylink 5mm comfort extension system.
Dial choice adds further variety. Rolex currently shows the 126300 with configurations including silver, slate, white, bright blue and green ombré dials, so there is considerably more to choosing this reference than simply deciding on the case and bracelet.
About Rolex Datejust Model Number 126300
The beauty of the 126300 is how little decoration it requires. It has no gold against the bezel nor any fluting to reflect light. Rather, the simple bezel and Oystersteel case allow the dial, the proportions and the bracelet to define most of the watch’s aesthetic.
Consequently, the selection of a bracelet takes on more importance. If worn with an Oyster bracelet, the 126300 becomes more straightforward and modern looking. Wearing the watch with the Jubilee bracelet creates an additional rhythm of the wrist thanks to the five piece links, a bracelet created by Rolex especially for the Datejust in 1945. Its 41mm size also allows for ample dial room without disrupting the traditional Datejust design. That includes hours, minutes and seconds shown centrally while the date is kept in its traditional place at 3 o'clock below the Cyclops magnification bubble.
In mechanical terms, the 126300 is a marked improvement over previous generations. Calibre 3235 uses Rolex's patented blue Parachrom hairspring and Paraflex shock absorbers, and the increased power reserve ensures the watch will run for around 70 hours on a full wind.
Thus, the Datejust is a watch that doesn't require the use of precious metals in order to assert its uniqueness. When one is looking for a Datejust in 41mm size but doesn't want it made of gold, this is where the 126300 sits in the current lineup.

With the 126300, deciding on the reference is only the beginning. Oyster or Jubilee, bright or restrained dial, and the condition of the particular watch can all influence the final choice.

Perhaps you even have one and have begun to think about a new arrangement. Having an idea of what your watch is worth will give you a better idea about whether it is worthwhile to change the dial design, the bracelet, or even the Rolex collection.
A watch that suited you several years ago may no longer be the one you reach for today. An exchange can put your existing 126300 towards something that better reflects your current collection.
