Thanks! It's the most comfortable, sleek and well-built Rolex bracelet I have ever had. The links are perfect synchronized and the bracelet is also very heavy and sturdy (but in a good way)...

Here is a pic that showcase the hidden clasp compared to another modern oyster bracelet clasp...

Some of the wrists shots with shaved arm hairs or hairy wrists gross me out, but gotta say the 36mm is a good size.

I'm looking at picking up a two tone and I'm torn between black stick, champagne stick, or silver stick... FWP!

Silver was not what I thought I would end up with going in but couldn't be happier now that I have it. Very versatile and a little different from the traditional champagne

Love the classic look of 36mm on the wrist!
I am especially fond of the 114270, I believe it is an undervalued and underappreciated classic - congrats to all owners!

I've seen a few non-Datejusts in here.

The 'mid-sized' ongoing discussion on the forum interests me because while I've deeply loved and admired the beauty, construction and spirit of my 35mm PL/SS YachtMaster, I've almost been talked into spending a few grand to 'upgrade' to a 'more manly' 40mm version. (I do own the 40 BLNR and with my small wrists I think 40 is as big as I can go).

Here's my 35mm in life. Bought in 2000 -- it's 17 years old and runs like a top (that 2235 calibre movement is a wonder of the world : )
