DJ 1600 or 16000
I'm looking for my first Rolex and I'm finding that datejusts from the 1960-70s (1600s) are priced similarly to more recent vintages (16000s). Does that sound right? Are the 16000 models more desirable than the 1600s?
One more question: if the watch is on a leather band, should that significantly reduce the price? Thanks! Bruce |

Yes, a watch on a leather band should be considerably less than one on bracelet. Maybe on the order of $500 less.

Thanks. Anyone else? Differences between DJ 1601 and more recent DJs?

I don't remember the years/model changes for when the switch over in features happened, so hopefully someone a little more knowledgable can come on and give more specifics, but it should give you an idea of what to expect dealing with the older versus newer models. |
