Good afternoon. Is the 1984 Rolex Datejust 16014 considered "vintage" Rolex? There is a local jewelry store and the owner buys and sells Rolex watches. This one is virtually mint, recently serviced and just beautiful with original box - bought for $2400 out the door with a one year warranty (bartered down from $3100). Was that a reasonable price? Thank you for your time!

If you're happy with it that's all that matters.

Its a fair price

That's got an acrylic crystal and is 30 years old. So, in my book, yes, vintage. That sounds like a fair price for a complete set with service, plus it's got the bonus of a quick-set date feature. Would love to see photos. My 16013 (from about 1988) says hello.

I need to attempt a good photo. Your photo is magnificent. What a beauty! My favorite movie is "The Color of Money"....and my watch is identical to Fast Eddie Felson's watch worn in that movie....so I had to have it.

Very fair price. And no I for one don't consider it vintage.
And I have one like it.

Floorguy · 4 July 2014, 09:09 AM

For that price, And condition, I think it's a winner!

Thanks. Yours sounds like a winner. Post a photo when you can. With the prices of other vintage Rolexes skyrocketing, it's nice to know that these old classic Datejusts can still be had for a reasonable price. Enjoy.

I'm confused by your picture which has a while gold bezel. My 16013 from about the same year has a yellow gold bezel and TT bracelet.

His watch is a 16030.

Sounds like you found a nice, vintage Datejust. Enjoy!

scooter1307 · 5 July 2014, 12:17 AM

If it is a 16030, it is a SS bezel that's what he 0 at the end means.

Yes, sorry, typos! My Datejust is proudly a 16030, with steel bezel, not white gold.

I'm the worst photographer -- but thank goodness for my I-Phone. Enjoy.
