*Ah yes… the Rolex Datejust 36, Ref. 116200, Roman dial.* *The smooth bezel whispers “understated elegance,” but the Roman numerals shout “I peaked in AP Latin.” Had you worn this horological button-down-and-khakis combo to your museum internship interview, maybe you'd be giving tours instead of taking them.* *I’ll be honest—I’ve never understood the Roman numeral obsession on steel Rolexes. And yet, they’re constantly requested, produced* en masse, *and endlessly purchased. If you “get it,” explain it to me in the comments. Or don’t. I’ve got my wife’s “birding” hobby to endure for another 3 hours.* *Is it handsome? Sure. The silver sunburst gives life to any pastel, pleasing, non-offensive sweater you own. Just ask the founder of Hodinkee! It’s neutral as f and still clings to the last wisps of J.Crew’s quiet luxury era. On a sub–7.5” wrist, it’ll look great.* *But no one will remember it.* *And maybe that’s the point.* \------------------------------------------------------------------------ **Model:** Rolex Datejust 36, Reference 116200 **Configuration:** Silver Roman dial, smooth bezel, Oyster bracelet **Description:** 36mm case. 3235 movement featuring a 70 hour power reserve. **Condition:** Preowned/worn.
