In 1945, Rolex introduced the Datejust, marking the debut of the world’s first automatic wristwatch with a date display on the dial. The Datejust combines timeless aesthetics and exceptional functionality, epitomizing classic watchmaking. Despite decades passing, various models of the Datejust have preserved their initial aesthetic elements, with its traditional designs becoming some of the most celebrated and recognizable watches in history, arguably even more iconic than the sportier Rolex Submariner. Today, we explore the Noob Factory Rolex Datejust 126334 36mm Jubilee Mother of Pearl Dial, an essential piece for aficionados.

This model is available with multiple customization options including five-piece Jubilee or three-piece Oyster bracelets, fluted or smooth bezels, and dial colors such as white, silver, grey, black, and blue, catering to diverse tastes.

Specifications Overview:

The 36mm dial is apt for most wrist sizes, featuring the classic Rolex fluted bezel known for its intricate three-dimensional effect, precision in proportions, and superior polishing, described as exquisite.

Commonly referred to as a ‘dog bite’ fluted bezel, the production of this bezel hinges on achieving the correct proportions and angles to optimize light reflection, creating striking light and shadow contrasts that enhance the texture of the bezel. This design is subtler compared to the robust Submariner, emphasizing delicate beauty. The silver dial adds a layer of finesse and clarity. The sunray finish on the dial is perfectly executed, faithfully replicating the genuine product’s effect and texture.

The Datejust features a simple three-hand design, topped with a sapphire crystal that includes a cyclops lens over the date window, magnified to 2.5 times its original size. These distinct characteristics have been widely praised since their debut and continue to be popular. The dial’s stick markers are dazzling and richly textured, accurately spaced as per the original design, with meticulously polished date windows and centrally printed date numbers that match the font and thickness of the genuine article.

The craftsmanship of the crown is masterful, ensuring smooth operation of the internal and external threading, with the finely engraved Rolex crown logo deserving special mention. The lugs’ curvature is flawlessly executed, mirroring the original and seamlessly integrating with the bracelet.

It utilizes Rolex’s standard dense design; the case back is brushed, fitted with the high-fidelity 3235 automatic mechanical movement, mirroring the original in functionality and precision. The case back combines a sandblasted flat surface with a polished inclined surface, with finely detailed teeth underneath.

The 3235 movement is an innovation, retaining the advantages of the 3135 movement while rectifying its weaknesses. The original 3135’s offset second wheel structure was revamped in the 3235 to a centralized second wheel layout, completely altering the arrangement.

The 3235’s automatic winding mechanism now employs a bearing system, preventing the rotor from contacting the automatic bridge, thereby avoiding abrasions and extending the component’s lifespan. In older models, prolonged use without maintenance could cause the winding gear system to loosen, leading to potential rotor contact with the automatic bridge.

Inside, the 3235 movement includes a custom-designed shock absorber—a rarely discussed component in watches, unlike in automobiles, due to its complexity and the uniformity among most manufacturers.

The bracelet is meticulously polished and brushed, maintaining spacing consistent with the original, with the LOGO exquisitely three-dimensional and textured. It also features the Rolex Datejust’s micro-adjustment functionality. DIAL: The mother-of-pearl plate is adorned with finely crafted Moissanite diamond markers. In summary, from a technical and craftsmanship standpoint, the Noob Factory Rolex Datejust 126334 stands as a paragon of luxury. Its moderate dial size enhances legibility and recognition, while its opulent appearance significantly boosts the wearer’s allure. The Rolex diamond mother-of-pearl Datejust underscores a minimalist yet sophisticated gentlemanly demeanor.
