Have a Roulette datewheel installed?

[Tbird]

I know on the previous gen datejusts (116xxx) there was a Roulette datewheel option. Would it be possibe to have one installed by Rolex on the newer 126xxx models? To do it aftermarket, would have the guarantee destroyed I assume.

The 32xx movements are very different to the 31xx movements, so I'm not sure if a datewheel from a 31xx would even fit a 32xx. And if it did fit, Rolex would never install it for you, so you'll be looking at getting it done as a custom aftermarket job, and yes that will destroy your warranty. In fact, Rolex may decide to not even service it in the future, even on your own dime.

I think I read someone doing this before and had size issues. Don't quote me but maybe search old treads

I installed one on my 5 digit YM. Very nice.
Would be great if that is possible on the 126xxx series as well.

i previously had a datejust 36 from 2013, the classic blue dial, fluted bezel on a SUPER-jubilee bracelet with the roulette date wheel. sold it in '21 to fund another watch purchase, thinking back, i wish i hadn't.

Rule of thumb is nothing fits on any Rolex which was not an option to have when the watch was in or is in production.

Really like this advice as 99% of time it's spot on

Enough said

a datewheel from a 5 digit will fit an inital 36mm 6 digit from the 2000's. Same mov't. Not sure about the new 32.. mov't.

I have done it in my datejust from a 116200 to my 16220. Also I took an all red TOG wheel and put in my white 16570.

Thanks, I hope the option becomes available in the future, I'll try my chances then with an AD or RSC...
