Vintage DJ

Hi all,

This diamond dial Datejust has been sitting in the window of the local pawnshop for a while. The rep tells me it is from the 80s.

I am not that familiar with Datejust but I know diamond dial ones are usually aftermarket. The dial and hands look to clean for the watch considering the conidtion of the case etc.

It has been sitting for maybe a year now, so I may be able to get a good deal on it if it is all legit.

IMHO the dial is aftermarket, so are the hands. Any opinions are appreciated.

Why do you want it? Even if it is cheap it's a pain in the ass owning a watch with a replaced dial in the long run.

Good looking watch. DJ dials are relatively cheap and plentiful, never turn down a nice watch over a dial, easily replaced.

If it’s indeed from the 80’s, shouldn't the calendar wheel be sporting an open 6?

Actually it's an original dial and hands for a DJ model 16234 and those dials are selling for $500 to 1k on Ebay...
