The Datejust is the most configurable Rolex — 4 sizes, 3 bezel types, 2 bracelets, dozens of dials, and multiple metals. Here's how to navigate the matrix.
Size Guide
| Size | Best For | Starting Price (Market) |

Bezel Options
- Smooth (Domed) — Sport-casual. Paired with Oyster bracelet for a clean, understated look. Lowest price point.
- Fluted — Dressy. White gold (steel models) or matching metal (gold models). The "classic" Datejust look. +$1,500-2,000 vs smooth.
- Diamond — Statement. Factory-set diamonds around the bezel. +$5,000-15,000 depending on configuration.
Bracelet Options
- Oyster — Three flat links. Sporty, robust. The everyday bracelet.
- Jubilee — Five links with curved centers. Dressier, more comfortable on the wrist. The "original" Datejust bracelet.
