Dear Watch Fans !
Just bought this beautiful datejust ref 16233 of 1993 100% original for an average price full set.

I’m so happy to finally get my first Rolex watch. And hope to keep it a long time.

What do you think about it’s condition ?
It’s a little bit scratched but I believe the condition is very good for 1993.

Can’t see any pictures of your watch, but anyhow, congrats!

My first one was a 116613lb when I was 27?

WatchLurv · 6 March 2020, 03:48 PM

An incoming without pictures is like having a car with no wheels on.

Congrats on the purchase and becoming a Rolex-owner!

Congratulations! My first Rolex is similar to yours and was inherited from my father at age 22.

Unfortunately not. I sold it some time back (no pun intended). Steel and gold black dial Daytona took it's place.

Congrats, mine was a SS DJ and I was a little bit older.

Good ! Some people told me that it’s not a watch to wear when you are young ... don’t believe them !

Congrats! I got the same one (with diamond markers) when I was 20 ... wore it for about 8 years and then moved into the solid gold territory (DD).
