Does anyone know where I can get the tan outer cloth for the pillow for my 1991 DATEJUST 16233? I have been searching for a few weeks now and they only seem to come with an additional box to purchase.

How can there be fake ones?
Since Rolex never made one, I’d say they are all generic. The Burford inserts are no different.

Of course, there are versions with the coronet emblem on it and the ones that have been thusly pressed are hard to discern.

Did you mean Bufkor not Burford? If so, what is different on the Bufkors? I have noticed that some of the center cuffs are not stamped Bufkor on the bottom, but besides that, I have nvever seen or heard of fake Bufkor boxes.

Also, the pillow wrap on genuine Rolex pillows is embossed with the Rolex crown and the wrap is not made from some cheap cloth like found on the fake pillow wraps.
