    With all the variations of date just and fakes out there I used this to research my first Rolex purchase. Thank you very much I had so much skepticism when I saw some had holes and some didn’t. You even showed me the difference in lug size and band weight which helped alot

    Beautiful pieces. I inherited a Tudor oyster Prince date day - Its basically the '98 datejust you showed but without the Rolex inhouse movement.
    It suffers from the same problems. Thin and drilles lugs. jingly jangly lightweight jubilee bracelet etc. Very beautiful but very fragile compared to new Rolex/Tudor watches
    And infact if anyone wants a datejust but cant afford it. I would suggest getting a 90s early 2000s Tudor Oyster prince date day - a good gold one will set you back 2-2.5k but you make considerable savings over the Datejust and its as well built as older Rolexs as most of the parts are Rolex

  • @berliozbetty5230

    I have two questions:
    1) Do all 116233 have rehaut engravings? I am currently looking at one that is supposed to be from 2003 which does not have any engravings.
    2) Was the super jubilee with the hidden clasp introduced with the 116233 so that I can say a watch that has a super jubilee is definitely a 116233?

  • @neil4701
    @neil4701 Рік тому +2

    I don't get why everyone believes that a heavier watch is superior. You are wearing it on your wrist all day, the lighter it is the better! The impression of quality you might get from handling a heavier watch is largely an illusion, a well-made lighter watch can be just as good quality and practically just as robust. Vintage steel watches with bracelets weighed about 70-80g (I believe that the Datejust 1601 was 83g). This is a good weight for a watch, why would you want to weigh your wrist down with something that is twice as heavy?

  • @rolex4524

    I look at my Datejust 16233 (1998 issue serial number), and marvel at the fact that nearly every other watch company has copied this design openly and sells it as part of their line, and I have a "real one"! An observation about what any particular Datejust from any particular year is worth is somewhat dependent on its dial (of course). So, when somebody looks at my watch (dealers included), and notices the Ivory Roman Numeral Pyramid Dial, they tend to offer a few bucks more: its no longer available, was never available for purchase separately from Rolex, and very few "loose" dials for sale on the secondary market. If you like the dial, you buy the entire watch.

      I'd start locally first. Meet at a safe place like a bank or something to do the exchange. Just see what they sell for on eBay and ask for a bit less for a starting price. Or a bit more and play the negotiating game.

      It's Complicated mines 7.5 i think. I keep trying to justify getting a 36 because they didnt start making the 41 until like 2009 i believe with the datejust II. So everyone had to wear a 36mm datejust even ppl with an 8 inch wrist. But most ppl are saying get the 41

I’m looking at a 36mm 1998 two toned date just with a Champagne line dial. It’s priced at $9450ca “7800” American.

    It's not strictly true that only diamond will scratch a synthetic sapphire crystal. I have owned the same Datejust since 1989 and have had to replace the sapphire crystal twice. The first time I scuffed the watch on a stone wall and chipped the crystal on its edge. The second time I was in a cycling accident and the cyclops lens was knocked clean off the crystal, along with severe scratching caused by contact with the asphalt road.
