Which prefer?? The Classic Datejust 16234 more stylized or the more modern 116234.
Why???

16234

116234

vladamir15 · 29 September 2018, 11:18 PM

The hidden clasp changes everything for me. I think it is the best rolex clasp by a mile. It makes the watch bracelet look much better.

DoctorA · 29 September 2018, 11:36 PM

Newer means better movement with more reserve

mikkolopez · 29 September 2018, 11:51 PM

Classic 16234 for me, something about the sexy and petite case.

I happen to like the older version (I have 2). Maybe I'm just biased.

doramas · 30 September 2018, 01:32 AM

I'm surprised they do not vote anymore for the classic design, its brushed and not shiny handles

1WatchDawg · 30 September 2018, 01:59 AM

Older style Jubilee clasp offers more adjust ability.

I received my five digit Datejust (16200, same same - but...) a few days ago and couldn't be happier. I really appreciate the brushed oyster and the case.

My girlfriend have a 116200 (which suits her very well) - but it's not for me. And it gives me a great opportunity to compare them side by side. I'm very pleased with my decision.

Side by side is 116200 slightly bigger and wears bigger. Due to the updated bracelet it's heavier. Almost like a SubC/GmtC. This I didn't like when I owned one. The 16200 is much sleeker (right word?) and is very comfortable when wearing.

I don't think you can go wrong with either.

Pick which ever one you like the most and feel is right for you. With all elements including cost, satisfaction etc!

Good luck and show us some pics once you get it! :)

I agree. The brushed and narrower case I like more.

The 16234 is mine. My father wants a Datejust and does not know whether to buy 16234 or 116234

Great bracelet! On my DJ. Fits like a gold glove!

The hidden clasp I do not like it very much, it's feminine. The classic clasp I adore

This.

SearChart · 30 September 2018, 06:41 AM

The old one because I dislike the shiny lugs and hidden clasp.

Nikrnic · 30 September 2018, 06:47 AM

Mine are 41 years apart. I'll give the edge to the DJ41 but I do enjoy them both equally.

Both are very beautiful

douglasf13 · 30 September 2018, 09:56 AM

5-digit all the way. Just say no to fat, polished lugs.

AP8ESQ · 30 September 2018, 11:33 AM

Neither - hold off for Basel and see if a 126234 is released with same upgrades as the 126233 released this year. If it isnt I vote. 116234.

This above, plus the polished lugs and thicker lugs.

I also think the gold bezel looks larger and sharper, but I am not sure if this is the case or just my eyes fooling me.

UnicoJG · 30 September 2018, 11:17 PM

I prefer the 5 digit, however, if I was buying today it would be the 6 digit because of the build and movement updates.

Nairn1980 · 30 September 2018, 11:34 PM

You were just asking about Explorer vs 114060 lol

Aldwyn · 30 September 2018, 11:56 PM

Classic...

I like the new ones, but they are a tab large for my taste.

Have you read the post? When you read it you will know that the question of the Datejust 36mm is for me father. Read before writing, thanks

You’re right, too much skim reading.

I apologise mate.

I like the thinner batons used on the older model, but like the newer movement and how the bracelet integrates into the case in the modern version
