Feeling Blue with WG...
Loving the two different types of blue dials. The DJ is 31mm. Is this DJ blue dial considered a sunburst? Enjoy the pictures.

Two beauties. I'd say yes, the blue date just dial would be considered a sunburst.

Nope. Mine and the wife's. 36mm would look funny on her 5" wrist. 31mm lugs fit the wrist perfectly. We couldn't go any bigger.

Just an addendum:

I absolutely fell in love with the Blue Linen dials that Rolex made in the early '70's, usually found on a DATE 1601 model.



Early on when I owned it (the first ten years or so), several AD told me they'd never seen a dial like that before.
