Vintage Experts - Need Your Opinions!
Hi all, I've done all the research I can on this DateJust and from what I can tell it is a two-tone 16013 linen dial from around 1985 (serial begins with 885). I am far from an expert (especially on vintage pieces) so I'd like to get some confirmation from the experts here. I'll probably end up bringing it to an AD to verify authenticity. The same AD offered to let me trade it in (looking to get a DJII as the 36mm DJ is just too small for me), or I may look at selling it here on the forums depending on what they offer me. Anyways, on to the pics. Apologies in advance for the crappy phone pics. I can shoot more if you guys need, whatever angles you'd like to see, etc, I tried to cover the basics though. And it worked out that today is the 19th, you can see the date wheel with the open 9. Thanks to everyone in advance for their help!

I have the identical watch. Mid 90s. Yours looks great. Mine looks new after the service. Always a market for people with small wrists. Get it authorized on letterhead and sell it. No need losing money on a trade.

Too bad some of us can only own a "run of the mill" Rolex.
