What ref DJs had a buckley dial?
Hey, interested in picking up something pretty specific, a vintage DJ with a smooth domed bezel, champagne dial, original black hands, and QSD. I believe the ref# 16000 came in this configuration, but it was either extremely rare, or the few pictures I've found of them involved service dials and/or mixing and matching elements that didn't come that way from the factory.
Curious if this configuration exists, and if so, are there any refs besides the 16000 I should be keeping an eye out for? Other than the 1600 and 16000, are there any other smooth bezel DJ references that came with the Buckley? I don't think the 16200 did. |

Both 1601/3 and 16013 has the Buckley champagne dial…the picture you attached is a 16000 that has a champagne Buckley dial that has mounted on afterwards…can’t imagine it came out of the Rolex factory configured like that…

Found the original listing and the seller states being an ivory Buckley dial which I don’t think is correct. The only time I’ve seen a Buckley dial been referred to as ivory is when it’s the white Buckley one…

Like you, a painted Roman 4 digit had been on my list for a long time and like you, no joy. One fine day I ran across this 16030 and owned my first 5 digit that day. I've loved the dial (and quick set!) ever since. Best of luck in your search!
