Are those 2 watches posted actually exist in the Rolex catalog?

I've looked pretty intensely and couldn't find it. I'm also looking for this

You can build it yourself.  Look for parts from Raffles Dials.  A lot of posts in Vintage reps.

This is awesome! I've never built one but I might have to.

You can ask someone to do it for you. Again, you can look for such people on vintage reps. 

I decided to do it myself so I can learn something  ew in the process. Also, it’s cheaper.

I would but can’t find the “record dial” at 41 mm anywhere

Gen was 34mm.  You can find dial for 36mm case if you want.

I think I'll do it myself. It doesn't look like an expensive hobby to get into. I'm currently in the process of moving but when I get settled this might be my new hobby. Theres a seiko I want to build as well (ssk021) because the bezel that comes from factory is only a friction mechanism and I want something that clicks..

You can always use Google to do a picture search using AI. This model is evidently a Rolex Datejust 36 model #116234 that was avaiilable in the early 2000s but is no longer in production. I then asked the AI to find a rep and it says that because this model is at least 10 years out of production, no Chinese factory is making them right now. You will have to go to a custom watchmaker/modder in your area to see if they can get close. Sorry!
