I just got this Rolex (Model 16233 X Serial). I thought It is interesting looking and I would start a discussion and get your opinions, have any of you seen this before, anyone currently own one? I have seen other colors and on different models but never red on a mens datejust.

yes...i think there was a blue variation too

Is that a factory serti dial? I have never seen it with the diamonds in it. There is a lot going on the, it would take some time to grow on me.

oh, you dont know what you are talking about

Oscar is correct...blue and red variations

I only looked at it under microscope for a second, but the diamonds to me are suspect of being aftermarket. I have to look again when I get a chance.

Also I have seen the blue one a lot but still cannot find any red tt mens datejusts online, can someone post a link.

There's actually 3 colors,

red, blue, and brown.

All 3 were available on Datejust(mens and ladies) and Presidents (mens and ladies) models.

Looks good. Is the dark area around the face what it actually looks like, or is that from the
photography?
