The Rolex DateJust (current model)

[Lol-x]

DateJust Reference Numbers:

Date of production:
The Rolex Date Just was introduced in 1945 as model 4467 and was to become the Flagship of the Rolex Line until the Day Date unseated it a decade later. The DateJust is still in production.

It was initially introduced as the DateJust Jubilee, however, the Jubilee title somehow only became associated with the bracelet. Originally offered in a coin edged version, the fluted bezel came along shortly afterward in 1957.

Some milestones for the DJ:
. 1954.... Introduction of the cyclops
. 1956.... First time another braclet besides the Jubilee offered (Oyster, Jubilee, or strap)
. 1957.... Offered in Stainless Steel
. 1962.... Introduction of the Two Tone models

The Two Tone Datejust has remained largely unchanged (aesthetically) for the past ~60 years and is probably the most copied watch ever introduced.

The Datejust had a movement change from the 16013 to 16233 to 28.8 bps, this was considered a major upgrade at the time since the new movement came with a sapphire crystal.

[jtvision]

I was browsing around and came across a post listing all the improvements in the datejust model over the years... Perhaps someone has this bookmarked?

Thanks

Also, is the crown on TT datejust models solid gold?

[jmjm]

I think the best improvement is the synthetic crystal and not the "domed" plexiglass.
The crown, the bezel, the bracelet middle links, everything that is gold looking is solid 18k gold.

When I bought my DJ 12 yrs ago, after they adjusted the band, they handed me these tiny gold links that they had taken out and told me that it was worth about $300.

The new DJ's look fine. They're getting pretty funky with the dials though.....

[tomred]

Are DJ dials interchangeable?, i.e. will a dial from a modern Datejust 116234 fit an older 16220

[sea-dweller]

Good info in this post !

Mouvement or case,

Cause i have a 16013 with an acrylic,
Mouvement is a 3035 and runs at 28,800bpm

[sea-dweller]

Thanks. This is the 3rd Datejust I've owned, and I will keep it for the reasons you've indicated. My previous 2 DJ's were older 16220's and they both had Jubilee bracelets and machined turned bezels (not the smooth one that is on my current DJ in the photo). I bought my previous DJ's, wore them for about a year each, and then sold them. When I saw my current DJ at the AD, I knew that the Oyster bracelet and smooth bezel combination is the cleanest DJ to own.

I had a DJ from the mid 80's- loved the thick look of acrylic crystal; however, it scratched quite easily. I have yet to put a single scratch on my sapphire.

Factory Jubilee style bracelets have 18k solid links. This is what comes with your 2005 DJ 16233. After-market bracelets, sometimes comes plated but most custom-made Italian gold bracelets are also solid gold.

Post some pictures when you get it so we can admire your DJ.:cheers:

[esm]

great thread. thanks. :thumbsup:

i have been thinking of getting a datejust with jubilee bracelet recently. either new or pre-owned, depends on what deal i can get, not too fussed.

quick questions - :lol:

is there anything i need to know when looking at a new one and a pre-owned one??

do they have different movements over the years?

whats the mai difference between a Date and a DateJust?

is a jubilee bracelet a "more appropriate" bracelet for the Datejust than the oyster bracelet?

what are the main differences between the clasp bracelet and the new hidden bracelet in jubilee style?

i have tried 2 new DateJusts yesterday, one with the hidden and the other with clasp bracelet, both SS models. the one i prefer has a white roman dial with the hidden clasp.

thanks in advance. :cheers:

i love them both....

[Onequik135i]

I still love mine since 2004 when purchased new. TT Oyster Date with white Porcelin in gold Roman & smooth gold bezel (Y) date code.

[dewsky]

Best Dial has got to be the Ivory Pyramid dial. You got to love the 3d affect it gives the watch. I am a little biased since that is the dial on my DJ.

....is a jubilee bracelet a "more appropriate" bracelet for the Datejust than the oyster bracelet?

just about the only question I feel qualified to give an opinion on is this one & that's only 'cos it is just an 'opinion'!!!!:dummy::thinking:

"in my opinion"....... :thumbsup: yes!! :thumbsup:

[zeuloa]

Does anyone know if the Datejust bracelets are made of 904L steel like the case is?

[speedo]

To be honest, if I was to chose a Rolex, I reckon I would not chose the DJ but as I have mine as a family legacy I would not swap it for any other model and during these years spent together I kind of came to love it.
A 16234 with Jubilee bracelet and dial.

[Denver Dick]

Movement-wise, I believe the big jump for the DateJust was in 1977 with calibre 3035 (Ref. 16013), the frequency was increased from 19,800 to 28,800 bph and, I believe, it was the first to have Quick-Set. Here is a link, FWIW: http://www.chronometrie.com/rolex3135/rolex3135.html

[erock]

Are DJ dials interchangeable?, i.e. will a dial from a modern Datejust 116234 fit an older 16220

I have been wondering the same thing myself. I kind of like the new Jubilee dials(rolex rolex rolex) and was thinking of trying one on my 16220, that is IF I can ever locate one for sale.

The current DJ's have used the 3135 movement since 1988. Prior to that the 3035 was used and before that it was 1575. The 3135 is regarded as an excellent workhorse-type movement.

The difference between a Date and Datejust is the size. A Date is 34mm and the DJ is 36mm.

In relation to which bracelet is more appropriate - that is a matter of opinion. There is a school of thought that the Jubilee looks better for formal occasions. There is also a school of thought that that fluted bezel works best with jubilee and bracelet and that domed looks better with oyster bracelet. Wear it how you like it!

Does anyone know if the Datejust bracelets are made of 904L steel like the case is?

[Babah Bogor]

Hello, I want to ask, is there any rolex pearlmaster for men? I just find ladies rolex pearlmaster. I like this model, not "too sharp and oldish" like oyster or jubilee.

[Jackxv]

Does anyone know if the Datejust bracelets are made of 904L steel like the case is?

No they are not, they're made of 316

I have been wondering the same thing myself. I kind of like the new Jubilee dials(rolex rolex rolex) and was thinking of trying one on my 16220, that is IF I can ever locate one for sale.

Yes the dials of the 3035 and 3135 are interchangeble.

Here is my Everose Datejust. I love the fluted bezel and the rose gold. It is a D serial that keeps time spot on. I bought it from an AD that was going out of business.

[everose]

Some versions have "roulette" date and some do not?????

Any way to tell which do and which do not on the current collection??

I just found out about the roulette date on another thread....i think its a great feature and really adds some charisma to the design!!!!

[jatco]

IMHO the 116233 csj - is the optomy of the Classic Rolex, with the full Jubile Bracelet. Tho the 11623 (earlier model) is well worth consideration, just because...of cost.!
The 116233 CSJ with full Jubilee Bracelet, for my 'Dress watch'. is what I'm looking for...!

[dannydog]

is there a weight difference between Jubile and oyster Bracelet on ladies datejust? Thinking about buying one for the wife

[ElvisNews]

Just brought a 1980s TT DateJust 16013... as gift for my daughter...

I would like to print out some information on how to care for the watch
how best to set the time and date and how long is the rest period
and include the details for her to keep...

Please can someone offer me this information in simple language
that she will understand.

(BTW I know what to do... but telling her ... and she is mostly likely to forget)

[dddrees]

Just placed a TT DJ 2 with Green Roman Numerals on layaway. All in all a great looking watch.

[smoken]

can the smooth bezel be replaced by the fluted easy enough??

[Timpala]

This is my new little friend. Received yesterday for my 50th, from my MUCH better half. I love it but am still reconciling that this could have been a LOT of power tools. :thinking:

It is funny to read this. I recently acquired my Submariner and there are times during the day (when I am wearing it) that I will stare at the sweep second hand and marvel as time seems to pass seamlessly. Glad to hear I am not the only one. Then I realize that I have work to do and move on.

[Green Arrow]

:cheers:My dad had an original datejust..and it was his moment of solace when he would just

My only debate in whether or not to buy the Datejust II is that the second hand doesn't have a lume dot like the Submariner/GMT II. At lights out, I like to watch the second hand sweep around the dial. I agree that it restores a sense of balance and calm into the day, which I find relaxing. Don't think I've ever seen anyone point that out before. Neat.

[PresenceUK]

I want to buy a DJ with stick type dial but cant decide which to go for, I definitely want a stick dial but cant decide between Blue, the black or the gold face, I also cant decide between the two tone and the stainless steel straps...which is the nicest...so hard to say...
Knowing which might hold its value better might help me decide...
I have seen the DJII but I much dont like the wider hour markers, I want stick type hour markers but the ones on the DJII I have seen look a bit big compared to the more elegant stick markers on the DJ...
I presume a DJII would hold its value better as its a new model but do they cost a vast amount more than a normal DJ ?
I keep looking at a SS datejust with smooth bezel and blue or black stick dial but I cant decide... they are both about £2000 and I wont get chance to see one in the flesh as I only have access to mail order ones and we dont have a Rolex dealer near us... They seem a low price though at about £2000 used for SS or TT with Blue or Black stick dial... I was wondering how much they are new as well (the DJ and the DJII) I have searched for ages on the net but cant find any info on new prices here in the UK...
I might even treat myself to a new one if I can decide which is going to be the best bet long term.

[jatco]

You purchase what feels best and is most appealing to you... for You.!
I was a bit torn between an 'older' 16233 vs a 'newer' 116233..but I wanted the Jubilee w/hidden clasp.. So I searched until I found the 'classic' of the line.. for that style.
.
It all is up to you.. and what feels best for you and your tastes...!

Lovely watches - Let's see some more!!!

[rxonmymind]

Just recieved mine from wifeee several weeks ago. Love it. This has always been my grail & always will be.:thumbsup:

[hugabug]

I apologize in advance if I am in the wrong place, thread, etc. I have a question, and wondered if you guys could help me? I just purchased a DJ 2008 model with an aftermarket MOP dial. Original silver stick dial included. I am 99% sure it is authentic but I can't see the crown etching at the six marker with a magnifier, should I be able to?

BTW....all your pictures are AWESOME! I am a lady and bought the 36mm size, love big watches! Jubilee bracelet. I had a local jeweler look at it and he said it looked good but the only authorized dealer here said they wouldn't authenticate it, they send theirs to Dallas.

TIA!

[jatco]

..Lovely DJ there.. Congrats...
I believe I read that if you take an LED flashlight and shine it on an angle, fairly flat angle, it will appear...with the aid of a magnifier/8x lupe.
..and based on your pic..I would say its authentic..with the rehaut engraving and I can just about make out your serial # @ the 6 .

[hugabug]

Jatco, Thank you SO very much! You have set my mind at ease. You can't be too careful with all the replica's out there. My sis just bought a Cartier Roadster for her husband and found it was fake!

[jatco]

..You're very welcome.. I also posted that in the other post.. But as someone mentioned there, did your DJ come with box and papers..?
And so true, re replicas.. I have one as well.. (but I knew is was..and that was about 20yrs ago...LOL..)

[hugabug]

Yes, it did come with a box and papers. 20 years ago and still ticking? Pretty good investment!! Thanks again!

[jatco]

/\ ...I'd say...!
So #'s on the certificate should match whats on your watch/dial.. ie the serial # on the rehaut vs what your papers show...!
--- That will set you at ease!!

[Rags]

Here's my Datejust. This is also my grail watch. I wanted it since I was a kid.

Im no expert on all the models etc of the Rolex line, but the 36mm is Not the typical woman's model..tho many women wear 36mm's ...
Steel and YG are a norm..as is the futed bezel..
Champage dial with diamonds could be 'custom' ..but may be a production model ?!? - but with a Oyster.?? - more than likely a TT Jubilee...
.
The diff between an Oyster and Presidential bracelet is significant...
Have you viewed the Official Rolex site to view their models..?

Love the DateJust models, past and present!

[anim]

Has the Oyster Bracelet on the Datejust always been available with brushed or polished center links? Or is the polished center link a recent addition to the options list?

Also, I never see any with the same bezel as I have on my Datejust. Is this bezel uncommon? Is it SS or 18k WG? I am under the impression it's SS... but the ad I pulled the link from suggests it's 18k WG. I like that it's different than the same fluted bezel I see on most DJ's, but curious as to why i never ever see it.

I believe that bezel is called "engine-turned" ... or maybe it's engine-tuned.

[anim]

right, i believe it's engine turned as well. Just wondering if Bob's Watches got it wrong as I thought that bezel was stainless and they're advertising it as 18k. Or maybe it was available in both?

Does anyone know what years that bezel was available and when they stopped selling it on the DJ?

[captmilehigh]

Hi guys,
A friend of mine picked this up from a supposedly reliable jeweler. He also had it looked at at another jeweler, in another Country no less. But whats with the dial? Any comments? These are the images he sent me from his iPhone.

Hello,
I am new to the community and am not sure if I am posting this in the right place. I have a quick question that I am hoping you can help with. I have a friend who is a jeweler and is going to order a watch for me. He requested the model number but I coud not find it anywhere. He said that 116334WIO is not the right number. This is that watch I want:

roman dials, with the "VI" in diamonds
the upper circle is not smooth and with no diamonds

thank you!!
