The way that white dial compliments the gold and stainless is amazing
I agree. It’s a beautiful watch. Thanks for commenting!
Having wanted a Rolex for years, I finally did my research and wanted a watch as a full set including inner, outer box, and all paperwork. For me I wanted the Champaign dial and it had a very good 3135 movement. I bought mine through a reputable dealer two months ago. Mine had very little wear with the same bracelet as yours.
Fantastic! Thank you for sharing. I hope you enjoy your watch in good health.
Definitely gonna be my first Rolex
Just picked up my piece today. (1995). Absolutely stunning. The white and gold was something i been eyeing for sometime ago. 41mm is too big for a DJ. The dial looked empty.
This watch is identical to my 1991 Rolex datejust. I watched your original video it's an absolute beautiful watch I am now glad I purchased it. It's very difficult to find one with the white dial in the Roman numerals. The one that I own does have some excess stretching with that being said. Hope you are doing better I enjoy watching your introduction about this watch. Which I can show people what my Rolex datejust looks like very few people. Actually get to own a Rolex watch I never wear it to be flashy I just love it because of just how meticulous a Rolex timepiece is an investment that will last a lifetime a Rolex is truly a work of art..
What a stunning piece! Crazy how the price of these vintage models increased over the past years. ~5-6k€ is the current price 📈
I agree, these watches have really appreciated in value. I'm glad I bought it when I did otherwise it would cost significantly more to purchase in just a year or two.
9k now
Remember about inflation. Same value, but more currency.
I am fortunate enough to own the 16203 with the gorgeous ivory pyridine dial. I wish I could’ve had the stunning fluted bezel of yours! Outstanding watch.
I have a 1951 Brietling premier 18k rose gold my baby , today I got my hands on this same Rolex 16013 😍
That Breitling is a gorgeous watch! I just looked it up. I’m glad you got the Rolex as well now.
It’s looks like new !
Gorgeous watch !
THAT'S CRAZY THAT'S THE WEBSITE IM ON RIGHT NOW AND WAS CHECKING OUT YOUR VIDEO TO GET A BETTER PICTURE OF THE WATCH IM ABOUT TO DO THERE LAYAWAY PLAN ... 👍👍👍👍
Looks like new. I found your video just because planning on getting the same watch.
ROLEX made the thin flexible clasp for a reason if the clasp dosent lock that tight you can slightly bend the middle bit and it will lock even tighter 😉
This was a great video extremely informative
Thanks for the feedback!
1945 Rolex anniversary gift to itself,the date just was created
Thanks for taking the time to review this vintage watch! I came across a 'Rolex' at a pawn shop on a whim, and it was a possible vintage model retailing for $5,000 but upon inspection, I saw that the gold links were hollow which made me think it was fake. The box itself also didn't look genuine, but perhaps I was wrong? I believe it was a smaller model than this one though, more of a ladies' watch.
It’s extremely important to do a lot of research before buying a vintage Rolex to increase your chances of getting an authentic watch. Sometimes it’s very hard to know for sure. The smaller 31mm Datejusts are the women’s models. Older Rolexes came in a very different (cheap) looking box.
From your description, it's impossible to say if the watch you saw is fake. However, it's important to keep in mind that most 5 digit references use hollow center links and end links. So, hollow links can't be used as a determining factor to the authenticity of the watch on most 5 digit references, especially Datejusts and DayDates.
Lovely and congratulations for the recovery 👏. How much did you pay for it as I'm considering repeating your experience searching for similar one.
It costed $5k.

Great pick up 💯
I love mine. Id reccomend anyone get one if they are in the position. Maintains value if you dont beat it up. Goes well with t shirts too
Lovely, class and elegance.
Hi! Does the lume still work? Is there a way to re-lume a Rolex? I also have a Rolex from a similar time frame but the lume does not glow anymore
I imagine that a good watch repair technician may be able to apply luminous material to the dial indices. However it might be easier to have the dial replaced with a new one since that would also improve the lume.
How did you verify that it was from 1988? I bought the same watch and took it to Rolex they themselves could only confirm it was from the era of 1994-1996 but couldn’t confirm which year exactly…would be great to know how you confirmed yours? Great video nonetheless
The watch seller estimated the watch was from that year. I verified it by removing the watch band, finding the serial number and comparing it with a Rolex serial number chart like below:

Are you sure it is a luminova dial? Rolex used tritium up to the late 90's, I don't think they were using luminova in 1988 yet.
I’ve got the champagne dial of this. Expected the bracelet be less jiggly
The bracelets on Rolex watches made in that period of time with that type of jubilee bracelet tend to be very jiggly. I believe it is due to stretch on the metal links over time. I too had expected a sturdier, more durable feeling to the Datejust bracelet. There are some restoration services that will repair the bracelet so it doesn’t flex as much.
@@anypointintime9547 Hi! Any recommendations on services that’ll help repair the bracelet stretch? Mine has some stretch and I’d like a trustworthy repair shop to help fix. Thank you!
I searched online forums and found classicwatchrepair.com to be a recommended Rolex watch bracelet repair store.
Does it gain or lose any seconds per day?
It gains around 15 seconds per day.

Price kitna
I have the same watch, born on date 1988, but the Roman numeral number is upside down on 5 to 8 marks, compare to your watch.
There is more than one dial design for the Datejust. One has the Roman numerals oriented as on my watch, the other is oriented like your watch.
@@anypointintime9547 I think mine is early 1988 models.
I don’t doubt that yours is a 1988 model. Mine is too. Searching online, I see that both orientations exist for Datejust Roman numeral dials made in the 1980s and 1990s.
