Rolex 228236 DD40. Glacier Blue. Sticks or Baguettes?

OK
While discussing watches with a friend he brought up the “grail” conversation. I said the Plat DD 40 and kinda realized I could actually get one if I just sold watches I do not wear anymore or have any emotional attachment to.

I can’t decide if I want sticks or the diamonds.
In general I am not a diamond guy but on the Glacier Blue they almost blend in and don’t “bling” like on a black dial. Im not interested in the Romans as I already have them on my YG DD40 which I am keeping.

So…

Cheers,

The only thing I know about it is that the original dial was replaced with MOP. I wouldn’t classify the current owner as a watch guy so I haven’t asked…

When I decided I needed (NEEDED I say) a Rolex I started looked at the Datejust. But no matter how hard I looked nothing I saw “spoke to me.” Then, randomly, I saw a photo of the Rolex Air-King 114234 with the silver face and orange Arabic numbers. The first thought that passed through my mind was, “That’s a sexy watch.”…
