1603

Maybe not the most beautiful, but there is something charming about an all-steel, vintage Datejust; my 1977 1603:

Thanks.
It was in stock. I wasn’t even looking for it, but while visiting my local boutique I was wearing the Explorer 36 and the SA though I would also like this one and brought it from the back (it wasn’t on display). She was right!

The most beautiful DATEJUST


A bit more controversial but I quite like it. 31 blue romans.

Not really a fan of aftermarket on Rolex, but that does look very cool.

Contrast of rubber and high polish is excellent!

Nice, my wife had that dial (diamond marker version) on her DJ but eventually swap the dial as was hard to read the time

Datejust

Maybe NOT the most beautiful 16013 Buckley you'll ever see but I dont think you'll see another in a hurry. Its certainly different. Currently a 'keeper' as Im liking at the moment.
