Described as a Datejust that has had it's movement replaced with Rolex quartz movement.

Which is what it is.

Dial might not be original, not one i'm familiar with but there are tons of varying DJ dial designs.

Reporting is a little bit harsh here IMO. The seller doesn't hide the movement change. Or is it not a genuine oysterquartz movement?

I think the seller updated the description after I sent a query. Seems business-like.

Here is the response.

Thank you for your interest in our item.

This 100% authentic stainless steel quartz : battery Rolex Datejust 16030 is pre-owned, had its movement replaced with an Rolex Original Quartz Movement

Come one this watch is rubbish maybe ok for parts. It's a steel reference number to add. The two tone parts don't belong. The dial is called boiler maker and is original. It's a throw together watch of parts no reputable seller would sell a watch like this IMHO.

Ditto, in a positive way. I quite like some of them, this one in is more interesting than a plain old standard Datejust in my eyes although a bit overpriced.

If I had the skills and time I would happily buy slightly worn or needing attention watches and mix 'n' match parts to make something different for myself. Having the same things as everyone else gets boring
