Wimbledon

Why it matters

Wimbledon is the Rolex Datejust with a slate gray dial and green Roman numerals, named for the tennis tournament's colors. It is one of the most popular Datejust dial configurations because the green numerals read as understated in most light and only pop up close. The 41mm reference 126334 is the common modern version.

The Wimbledon is widely available compared to the sport models, which keeps it closer to retail. The questions that matter are bracelet (Jubilee or Oyster), bezel (fluted or smooth), and condition, since this is a watch people actually wear daily.
